Nice! Brings back memories how we made a list of expressions for "fucking" in Czech. Got to 344 before moving on. It's still online even!

Tough guys with Mullets that blasted Metallica said "Mint" (term of approval) every sentence back in 1980's Long Island. I just learned it also meant "a trace of homosexual tendencies" a few decades prior.

I don't understand how people can keep their angst for this long to make it all the way to a HN comment in 2026.

Stuff like this is precisely why it's accused of being/becoming a reddit clone. We don't need the constant barrage of these cultural and identity comments. For several years now it feels like we've been taking on the people displaced from the twitter buyout.

With all due respect, genuinely, what are you talking about?

I don't read any angst in that comment, just an interesting observation about local slang and the history of similar words.

Also if you're not supposed to comment about culture or identity in a thread about slang, a very cultural and identity specific concept, what's the point of the article?

I can also recommend Roger's Profanisaurus for a British view of swearwords and vulgar euphemisms: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roger%27s_Profanisaurus
