what would I be without you guys ?
It's obvious that simple English won't do,
so you guys make me look up all them really, really, really difficult words that constantly confuse my mind.

Take "slag" for example...
3 different explanations :
1. An individual who cares not for relationships beyond the realm of the sexual, these people sleep with many partners not caring about anything save for the moment of climax.

2. Rubbish that is not worth the time or effort of paying attention to it, but none the less draws one in. Used to describe unpleasent situations.

3. Physical trash, often scrap metals.
Surely, you must mean you're pieces of scrap metals,
or might you just be an unpleasant situation all together ? :idea:

i'm so industrial techno i have become rusted metal.

nothing unpleasant about my situation, all is well and i would never hurt anyone like that. we're both clear about our present tenses with each other. it just can cause a bit of anxiety and stress when sometimes you don't believe people understand your motives no matter how clear you are with them. anyway, enough deep stuff - i hate the price of a drink in london. it can fuck off and die

I encountered that word for the first time when Aphex Twin's ...I Care Because You Do came out: the album has a track named Come On You Slags! In 1995 the web was in its commercial infancy; Google, Google Translate, Merriam-Webster or Wiktionary didn't exist; research meant perusing libraries for books therein, the assistance of librarians and the knowledge of specialists. At 21 I was fluent enough in English - the British variant, mind you - but slag wasn't part of my vocabulary. As luck would have it I had a friend who was British, a language teacher and fluent in a myriad of languages, including Welsh, all Scandinavian (Danish, Norwegian, Swedish) and various European languages, so I received a thorough explanation on the etymology and colloquial British English meaning of the word: (informal, slang, derogatory, chiefly British) a lewd or promiscuous woman; a contemptible or insignificant person.

The first (and only) time I've used that phrase was later that year when I was DJing at a small club in Helsinki. I had the last slot of the evening, so I finished my set, packed up and prepared to leave. The last two punters in the place were Scottish blokes, pished and holding pints, so I shouted "come on you slags, closing time!" They went mute, stared at me for about five heartbeats, then burst out laughing, pints sloshing. The heftier one (probably) called me "a wide wee cunt" (I didn't understand that until I read Irvine Welsh), downed the pints and kept on laughing on their way out.

I've since concluded that language fluency requires understanding not only the meaning of colloquial and idiomatic words and phrases - slang and dialects - but also the how, when, why and with whom they're appropriate to use. I love finding out things like that, especially obscure, weird and etymologically fascinating (e.g. fornix -> fornicate).

But I digress.

Big hate of mine.

A new emergence of uttertwats who label their music "no computer involved"
Or "hardware only"

As if it makes their mediocre shite shine brighter.

Fucking twats.

Been getting sent demos labelled as such.

Insta-delete. Who gives a fuck what it was made on, that won't sway me to think it is good or not. Fucking human knob cheddar.

Fetishization of technological reductionism producing delusions of illusory authenticity invalidated the instant anything is recorded and copied for distribution in any format.

Can we add presenting your track as a youtube video just because it was done on hardware? Who fucking cares.

I have a sense of humour so completely detached from what the rest of humanity finds funny. That was supposed to be absolutely ridiculous, not a brain malfunction - there is a point, but it's intentionally so convoluted that it's just absurd. I apologise.

Yeah, I get the humour. Valid point too, unless of course you bring your whole hardware setup and place it on a hardware table in the hardware office of a hardware label and hit play on your hardware sequencer so that the hardware A&R man can give you some hardware approval and then get it recorded...on a computer ..

First time I had to meet the friends of my German mrs, must have been in '99 or something,
I knew almost no German at all, so I was pretty nervous and told her
"hey, so what do I do if there's someone laughing with me cause I don't understand anything they're saying??
Can't you teach me some swear words so I can at least say something to them in that case ?"
So she taught me about 5 or 6 slang words with lovely dirty meaning.
To test the slang words, and because you know I like my humor seriously wrong,
I shook hands with all of them when I arrived, while calling each of them a different word.
There's nothing like a first impression...

Also, when I think of slang words, I'm always reminded of a children's cookie that got sold here in Belgium during the 90's.
It was in the shape of some kind of dwarf, with chocolate on one side.
The people were stupid enough to call it "spunk", not realizing that was also an English slang word for sperm.
A children's cookie named "sperm", how hilarious can it get ?? :lol:

I got it, mate, ending with wanker made it completely clear. I just like that picture and was looking for an excuse to use it, it sums up these Brexit times nicely. Wankers everywhere.

I don't think any of those definitions are what 'slag' actually is, though. I think it's a by-product of steel production. Don't quote me on that, there's no fucking way I'm googling it.

I once had a certain Costa Rican guy here who (afaik) still prides himself he doesn't use a computer...
He took quite a few pics when he was here in my studio and then used those as profile pics as if it was his studio.
I had to ask him to remove them.

I really think it's totally potetic if people take selfies in someone else's studio,
and use them to give the impression they're in their own studio... :roll:

I just used one of the 1st urban dictionaries I could find that I thought was quite funny.
Not gonna google it again either. :D
