No kant do: Eurovision bars Malta’s entry over title’s similarity to C-word
-
NOT EMANUEL KANT!!
-
With the abundance of languages in the EU I imagine that allows us to find quite many words that are phonetically similar to rude words of other languages.
Wouldn't it be fun to see if it's only the English language that are afforded such privileges of denial?On the other hand I don't really care what happens in the eurovision song contest.
One that i hate is from the high german dialects: servus
So many wanna be intelectuals always go like this when you say it: "actually did you know this word means slave, because the romans called their slaves with it and in english it means 'serve us'. So you just called me a slave"
The word "servus" doesnt come from latin and has been in use before the romans infuenced the south germanic tribes!

Do you have a source for that for me to followup?
I learned te Latin root as well, but in the historic context of "I'm your servant" as a formal goodbye formula.I'm aware of the old Germanic sev which could be argued to be the root but ice never seen a linguist or historian actually explain that!
Thanks in advance!

Meanwhile Israel will participate yet again while committing genocide and ethnic cleansing.
So remember kids: Murdering, Raping, Torturing and Starving women and girls is okay. Using a word that might sound like it is referring to their private parts, even though the word is just normal in your language, is completely unacceptable.

I'm Maltese and I fully support this. The whole song is in english, except for this one word. And it's used in this particular context, and the word doesn't really make sense in the rest of the sentence. This is definitely a "leopards ate my face" moment
