Spreading the Good Word

I've always wanted to visit Japan. It's such a beautiful and strange land. I mean, really, really strange. Like, fucking weird.

Not the least of which is because, in Japan, "fuck" is weird. Here in the US, we use it as such a daily crutch of expression, that we forget just how different it may sound to other cultures for whom English isn't their first language. Thankfully, there's a book that can help them with this issue.

From UPROXX:

You might be aware that there is currently a book on sale that will teach Japanese folks how to use the word f*ck properly. It is comprehensive and hilarious and comes complete with audio CD with lessons on using others words like sh*t, damn, and hell. The last two probably used as filler because they’re not f*cking swear words anymore.

Anyway, the wonderful gent who runs Abroad In Japan bought a few copies of the book and put it to the test with some natives in Japan and the above video is the result. It seems like a lot of fun.

Too Real

I'll warn each and every person seeing this right now: If you have an illogical hatred or discomfort with the "c-word"—and I'm not talking about "cancer", or a clever Showtime series—this may not be the post for you. Personally, I'm a huge fan of international acts like Russell Peters and Jim Jefferies, and understand that America is the only place where people are so uptight about this word. That being said, this song is too good not to share.

So open your minds. Especially the ladies. Because no matter how you feel about her choice of words, I am willing to bet millions that you've expressed this same sentiment at some point.
