Ingilizce konuşulan ülkelerin kültürleriyle bizimkisi arasındaki bir fark dikkatimi çekti. İngilizce edilen küfürlerle, Türkçe edilenler arasında ciddi bir fark var. Hayvan adları, nesne adları, meslek adları vs. gibi sıfat küfürlerde aslında bütün dünyada bir parallellik varken, fiil içeren küfürlerde bu parallellik yok.
Fiil içeren küfürlerde bizde nedense bir özne olma durumu söz konusu. Bizde, küfürü eden kişi, küfür edilen kişi ve/veya yakınlarına bir fiil uygular. Bu fiil de büyük bir ihtimalle cinsel içerikli olur. Ama bu bizim kültürümüze özgü bir durum. Örneğin bir Amerikalı birine, küfür edenin, küfür edilenin ebesiyle cinsel ilişkiye girmesiyle ilgili bir küfür edilse muhtemelen Amerikalı "Hey dude, go for it!", "Enjoy!" falan gibi bir cevap verebilir. Aynı şekilde bir Türk'e de "Go f.ck yourself!" gibi bir küfür edilse muhtemelen Türk anlam veremeyeceği için küfür herhangibir etki yaratmayacaktır. Türk de Amerikalı'ya gidip kendi ebesiyle cinsel ilişkiye girmesi ile ilgili bir cümle etse ne Türk tatmin olacak, ne de Amerikalı küfüre anlam verebilecek.
Oralarda cinselliğin tabu olmaktan çıkmasından mı kaynaklanan birşeydir veya oralarda "Kurda boynun niye kalın diye sormuşlar, kendi işimi kendim görürüm demiş." yaklaşımının olmamasından mı kaynaklanıyor bilmiyorum ama böyle acayip bir durum var. Belki de Türkler cinselliğe Amerikalılar'dan daha düşkün ve küfürde bile olsa fırsatı harcamak istemiyorlar. Veya orası Türkiye'den önce endüstri devrimini yaşadığı için dış kaynak kullanma ve delege etme daha yerleşmiş alışkanlıklar olabilir. Sebebi her ne olursa olsun kültürler arasında bir fark olduğu kesin.

Geri Dondum
Geri döndüm. Aslında tam olarak döndüm de sayılmaz ya... Misafir bir yazarın yazısıyla döndüm. Bud Boren. Yazı buraya o kadar uygundu ki aynen kopyalıyorum. Ben de hemen geliyorum.
These are our rules! Please note.. these are all numbered '1' ON PURPOSE!
1. Men are NOT mind readers.
1. Learn to work the toilet seat.
You're a big girl. If it's up, put it down..
We need it up, you need it down.
You don't hear us complaining about you leaving it down.
1. Sunday sports. It's like the full moon or the changing of the tides. Let it be.
1. Crying is blackmail.
1. Ask for what you want. Let us be clear on this one:
Subtle hints do not work!
Strong hints do not work!
Obvious hints do not work!
Just say it!
1. Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question.
1. Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it. That's what we do. Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for.
1. Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument. In fact, all comments become null and void after 7 Days.
1. If you think you're fat, you probably are. Don't ask us.
1. If something we said can be interpreted two ways and one of the ways makes you sad or angry, we meant the other one.
1. You can either ask us to do something or tell us how you want it done. Not both. If you already know best how to do it, just do it yourself.
1. Whenever possible, please say whatever you have to say during commercials.
1. Christopher Columbus did NOT need directions and neither do we.
1. ALL men see in only 16 colors, like Windows default settings... Peach, for example, is a fruit, not A color. Pumpkin is also a fruit. We have no idea what mauve is.
1. If it itches, it will be scratched... We do that.
1. If we ask what is wrong and you say 'nothing,' We will act like nothing's wrong. We know you are lying, but it is just not worth the hassle.
1. If you ask a question you don't want an answer to, expect an answer you don't want to hear.
1. When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear is fine... Really.
1. Don't ask us what we're thinking about unless you are prepared to discuss such topics as baseball or motor sports.
1. You have enough clothes.
1. You have too many shoes.
1. I am in shape. Round IS a shape!
