Is that a threat or a promise? ;)

The only Portugese word I know is the Portugese pronunciation of "adios" (with the -sh, apparently) and (sp) Mudranya (/sp), which is some kind of killer liquor called 'fire water'. :p
I'm OK. How are you?

Hmm, "Adeus" and "Aguardente", respectively, I believe? The last one has the popular name of "Cachaça", which translates roughly into "Schnapps" (sp?).

Yes it is, it's just that it's such old slang it's found its way into dictionaries. :)

people should have the right to choose without raging theocrats chaining women to the kitchen sink, keeping them pregnant and making the father work.


That is spurious and you know it.  Just because a couple are married does not mean that both can't work. It is also thier choice whether they have children. You are confusing a culture of the past and of Catholicism where the sanctity of marriage included having as many children as possible and the man being the only bread-winner. (Which was suited to the lifestyles and quality of living of the past.)

Modern models exist where a married couple can live out life without the wife being chained to the kitchen sink or "keeping them" pregnant.

I could go on, but the only other phrase I remember would be "te amo", and I don't think that that would be quite appropriate... :p :lol:

Both words seperate are not slang, combined they form a phrase. If you meant to say they "were" slang, you may be correct, english is such a colourful language.

From a descriptivist linguistic viewpoint all new words are considered legit, even "jkjhhy". After all, it's not like we have a council of wordmakers. If the language isn't allowed to be changed by the people who use it, it willstop reflecting societal experience and people will stop using it.

Take a look at Latin, for example.

Unfortunately, I cannot stop the power of the Word Poli---

HALT. THIS IS THE WORD POLICE. YOU WILL CEASE THE USE OF NON-STANDARD VERB FORMS AT ONCE AND SURRENDER YOURSELF.
