MA LSV: Candystorm & Shitstorm

Mature audience only. From our foreign language department.

Having overcome the hesitation involved in using a s*** word combo on Twitter, we flag it with the MA LSV all you stateside TV viewers know.  There is no S or V here but it looks awesome.

Having done that, we can now ask any reader whose job title contains something like analyst, reviewer, compliance, to please go and f***** ***** ***** ********* *** *****.

You can enter a sweepstake by leaving a comment on the blog with a funny, family-friendly suggestion for replacing the asterisk symbols above. The number of characters must match the number of asterisks.

We decide.

You can win the Susan B. Anthony dollar not given to the "Three Wise Guys at the Door", minus shipping and handling charges.

The unabashed use of slang and "bad words" is something so typical for students learning a foreign language, there are books about it. The distance from the social and cultural norms of the new language allows them to do this.

But it does not necessarily stop there.

To prove it, we proudly present the use of Shitstorm in modern German public discourse. Candystorm was only included in the title to make it more, say, palatable.

Enter 'Shitstorm' into your favorite search engine, set the search language to German, and you will see.

This factoid of international parlance leads us directly to a travel recommendation.

As a native speaker of any sort of English, take a trip to a country where they speak any sort of foreign language, any, and live out that suppressed use of all the bad words for a week.

One more thing:
We are using MA LSV under the assumption that we are not violating any copyright or trademark. Also, this is satire. MA LSV as a user-entered marker might not be such a bad idea if Twitter wanted to give people a system for parental needs.

And one more thing:
Dear Apple Inc., please do not try and copyright or trademark "One more thing". It is prior art.
