Just a little language titbit for any of my linguistically inclined flist (and [livejournal.com profile] jazzymegster I'm primarily thinking of you here). The link is to the Language Log and has refs to chinese language/pinyin and inappropriate translations. The frequent bemusing use of the word "fuck" by no means brought any of my flist to mind. Heh.

I get the Language Log on my flist now, and boy, does it make me feel inadequate/confused/wildly interested/frustrated.
