Yeah. Забить is putting a nail in with a hammer (or scoring a goal in soccer), forcing something in.
Now after thinking I suspect the original version was SFW, not the other way around, and meant ‘to hammer in a bolt\screw’, to bork something intentionally. And later it changed for a dick.
Not at all. I find obscene words and talking about them amusing myself.
Do you have some interesting examples from your own language\s?
I just speak American English, so nothing too crazy. There’s the term fuckin’ a. It’s used by older generations I’d say. I’ve always just assumed the a stood for ass, which would be strange to censor ass after you said fuck. I recently looked into it and the a is for affirmative, and the term comes from military radio chatter. It basically means emphatically affirmative.
Another old time one is the whole shiterie,
Meaning the whole thing or collection.
Another fun one is a brick shit house, meaning overly well built for what it’s used for.
There’s also shit on a shingle aka sos, which was a really basic diner food consisting of gravy on toast.
And I assumed A was for the highest mark in school (when evaluating something). In some cases I remember it did make sence, but thanks for telling me about it’s origins.
Offtop, but now I’m thinking if all these college clubs in the movies were called in latin words because of the military too, with their Alpha-Bravo-Delta correction of hearing\spelling errors over the radio.
Your examples are fun too, and SOS sounds like an emergency dose of callories with minimal decorations when one’s too exhausted (:
P.S.: It’s not unusual to know only one single language. Weirdly enough, that’s shared between the US and Russia due to their huge territory most people never leave and a lot of folks being offended by hearing other languages spoken around them, like MAGA or vatniks. I’ve got lucky my parents invested some skillpoints into languages years ago, so I can talk to you, and you’ve been dealt a slightly worse hand in that department. No shame here. A lot of my dearest and wisest friends can’t read memes I send them even in kindergarden English so, at least, you dodge this regular frustration (:

Shit can basically mean anything good, bad, ugly, or beautiful. It’s really an amazing word.
