Late Night Bowling With Daddy

[AccountingDrone]

There's a group here that does RenFaires, and they describe themselves as singing "songs bawdy and beautiful". Before starting one song (ostensibly about poultry), two of the women had a discussion about how it was the cause of many letters home from preschool.

my dad and his army buddies thought it was hysterical to teach me to sing Danang Lullaby when I was very young. It was the only version of 'My Bonnie" I actually knew. So after transferring to yet another school, one afternoon a guitar toting hippy type bunny hugger was there to hold a sing along. So merrily I sang along at the top of my lungs in the only set of lyrics I knew. I got in trouble for singing 'bad lyrics'.

I suppose I had an abused childhood ... I can remember sitting on the kitchen table at about 4 years old learning how to play craps and poker, hanging out with my dad on the few occasions he was able to get leave to come back stateside ... I saw him about 2 months of the year between birth and 9 years old [military brat] between his duty and my schooling. Got to love TDYs]

I wouldn't say he's trying to pick up girls- more likely he's just too cheap to pay for a babysitter. Parent of the year material either way, huh?

Cosby had something about this. I'll have to go through a stack of vinyl when I get home and see if I can remember where it came from.

I used to think my father was an idiot. Because the man could not complete a full sentence.
My father’d get upset and he’d say:
“What the...”
“Get your...”

Well of course. Now I understand. I mean, you’re censoring yourself. You don’t want to curse.
I mean, had it’ve been a grown person, you’d have cursed:
“What the foul filth foul foul filth filth filth foul foul! And you’re filth and foul!”

But you talk to your child, you censor yourself, and you say:
“What the..”
“I’ll bust...”
“Get outta my face!”

“What the foul filth foul foul filth filth filth foul foul! And you’re filth and foul!”

Which somehow brought to my mind this:

"Fuckin'... What the fuckin' fuck... Who the fuck... Fuck this fuckin'... How did you two fuckin' fucks... FUCK!"
"Well, that certainly illustrates the diversity of the word."

Cookie for reference.

Boondock Saints.

One of my favorite movies... I still haven't seen the second one yet.

Yeah, that was it.

Thanks.

A little work with Google Translate gives me "paskahousut", which seems plausible enough.

Ah, "paskahousut" is likely the word, then. My grandfather's parents were from Finland (so they settled in Minnesota, naturally) but they spoke English almost exclusively once here, so Grandpa only knew a few phrases that got passed down in the usual telephone-game manner.

Actually, the funniest bit involving swearing in a PG movie that I can recall is in the subtitled version of "Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure". The scene is the one with Napoleon in the bowling alley (and ties nicely with the title of the thread) where he repeats the word "merde" about 30 times. The subtitle has not only the word in French, but also the translation below it, so you get the word "shit" repeated across the screen as he says it. I'm positive that the subtitlers were having a lark with it.

Reminds me of a scene in The Brothers Grimm. It's set in "French Occupied Germany" (obviously, this is 18th-century stuff), and much of the plot involves a German village with French soldiers attempting to blend into it.

Yeah.

One particular misfortune had the soldiers swearing... "Merde! Merde! Merd.... (oops) Scheiße! Scheiße! Scheiße! Scheiße!"

A friend's dad (WWII vet) told of his squad's designated "Speaker to Germans" telling them to "Come out with your hands up or we'll shit!"
