    As a hispanic person i find your post offensive. The problem is that when you talk like that, you make a woman go mad… So be wise… and keep on… reading the sign of my body.

          We have lots of words for it. Depends on the kind of dance and what country the person you ask is from too. You know, kinda like the Inuits and snow thing. “bailar” (‘bhai-lahr’) is the most common but “menear el culo” is more appropriate for formal occasions.

            Wasn’t the “inuits have dozens of words for snow” thing kinda disproven? Afaik they only have like 5 or something, the reason people were saying there were so many is because Inuktitut, Greenlandic, etc are polysynthetic languages, meaning you can pack a LOT of information into one word (it’s possible to make complex one-word sentences for example). This does mean that there are a lot of words based off the root for snow, which is where people got the idea

              Kinda disproven, but it’s also a question of what a word even is. Most of those snow words might not make it into a dictionary, but they will get their separate entries in a glossary for a book on snow, because the general sense of the word can be extracted from the parts, but words take on more precise meaning when they’re used more often.

              However, we shouldn’t single out Inuits and snow, because the general principle is “words are created and forgotten according to need”. Carpenters have a lot of words for wood. Barely anyone still knows a lot of words for stone tools.

              And sure, people who spend a lot of their life in snow will have a lot of words to describe their experiences with snow. But every human language can be used to describe any experience, even if you need to combine some words in new ways to do it. So when we say “Inuit have this many words”, we ignore that people don’t really communicate in single words, but saying “Inuit have this many sentences” makes it immediately obvious that it’s a silly thing to say: all languages have infinite sentences.

      I’m so glad I am in a position to not have to fucking hear Christmas music, some of the old ones are fine but dear fuck do stores and radio love playing the same 4 fucking songs. Also God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen is right good depending on version.

        If I hear ‘So This is Christmas’ by John Lennon one more time I’m going to lose it. It sounds so bad coming out of a PA speaker.

        Same 4 songs, performed by a dozen different singers. It drives me insane.

        Also, I personally hate when a singer decides they’re gonna perform their version of a song. I had an old music teacher that once said, " if you’re going to cover an famous song, it needs to be better than the original." So for someone to say they’re gonna cover Elvis’ Blue Christmas, or Earl Ravencroft’s performance of the Grinch song, are basically saying they’re better than Elvis or Earl Ravencroft. With how low effort these covers are, that is definitely not the case and I feel like they insult our intelligence by shitting on all these classic songs.

      Francesca is a comedian and left-leaning political activist. Definitely a joke.

      She also wrote “The Leopards Ate My Face” song. Was also one of the targets of the early anti-sjw shit that spawned gamergate on YouTube with her DeCoded show for MTV

    Shakira law! Far too funny first thing in the morning for me. I will be desperately waiting for an opportunity to use that in work today.

      FYI the country is spelled Colombia… which I’m only writing because I think we should also change DC to the District of Colombia in honor of our new Lady Liberty.
