The Occupy Movement

[Titanoboa]

And if you're Swedish, the first time you hear someone described as a slut, do you think they're being called "the end?"

I don't remember, but there are many words like that (I don't know a term for it) and it can be quite funny sometimes. I distinctively remember once in fifth grade at English class when we were learning to say what we want to be when we grow up. My classmate meant to say "When I grow up, I want to be a chef/cook". The Swedish word for this occupation is kock. His English wasn't perfect. It came out as "When I'm big, I want to be a kock". About a quarter of the class and the teacher ended up in laughter. My poor classmate missed the joke

On the slut topic, in my previous relationship I'd skype a lot. Whenever she hung up, it'd say "Slut" on my screen for a brief period of time. My phone has a short fuse.

Here's a sentence a friend of mine posted on facebook:

Don't know what to think of this (don't really like Frank Miller as a comic artist either), but thought some people could find it interesting (I realize that it's from a year ago).

That's a crock of rotten bologna.

I like how the first comment rips Miller's post to shreds. Made me want to burn my Sin City collection, but I can't, because I like to keep comics around for reference material.
