I really would like some comments on this.
I think this sounds like a translation project. :) Better yet, how about some new and creative insults. ea-luna has several "bad words", one of which is "mutu", which means something like "incredibly stupid and annoying in a pointless or dangerous sort of way". You might use this word in reference to people who see you put on a turn signal in the left lane, trying to get to the right lane to make a right turn, and speed up to keep you from getting over in front of them, causing you to miss your turn; or maybe in reference to a loud, boisterous person bragging loudly about something they know ALL about when they are really clueless and everyone else in the room knows it. [Hey, that's my ex-husband. Total mutu.] You can use this word as an exclamation too. Here's one for y'all: kepe de-dina piu _____________________________. fat(v) you(poss.)-mother so-that _______________________. Yo mama so fat that ________________________. (Or, really, your mother is fat so that _______________________.) Wow... I hardly had to look anything up for this post. :) -- Mia Soderquist (tuozin@dmv.com) clank clank *crash* clank clank *crash* (Two knights walk into a bar)
