& sun., 2 mar., 2014: academy awards weekend soubriquets, ii.: give us This Day our Daily Curse

DANISH:  Du kan kneppe dig  selve i røven med en legoklods!    / Du kan kneppe dig  selve i røven med en legobiograf!  ‡

GREEK:  Ζορμπά — Zorbas  ‡‡

ITALIAN:  Se questo e’ il nuovo libro di Umberto Eco, aspettero’ il film e saltero’ anche quello.  ‡‡‡

TAGALAG:   Puta Cleopatra!   ‡‡‡‡

TAGALAG:   jabba-hut   ‡‡‡‡‡

       ‡)  “You can go fuck yrself up the arse/ass with a Lego brick!”  /  “You can go fuck yrself up the arse/ass with the Lego movie!”

     ‡‡)  “Zorba”  /  “Zorbas”  —  to call a Greek “Zorba”  (in ref. to either the Kazantzakis novel or the attendant movie featuring the eponymous scoundrel, philosopher-king & bullshit artiste Αλέξης Ζορμπάς — Alexix Zorbás)  is perhaps not the most flattering of soubriquets  (probably okay for a relative or  friend — though these days a Greek might look at you a few seconds, & as the reference sunk in they might give you a “whatever-the-fuck” shrug)  ;

    ‡‡‡) “If that's the latest Umberto Eco book, I'll wait for the movie & skip that, too.” ; 

  ‡‡‡‡)  “Fucking stinking Cleopatra bitch!” — i.e., that fucking bitch may think she’s a sex goddess, but she stinks like “Cleopatra”! [arguably still the reigning Golden Turkey of  life-suckingly godawful box office flops ] ; 

‡‡‡‡‡)  “tubby” /  “chubby” — i.e., as fat & gormless & globular as the giant worm / talking turd alien blackmarketeering-czar in the Star Wars movies
