mon., 10 july. 2018: not quite a swedish honorific, i.: Give us This Day our Daily Curse


SWEDISH:   Bög…    
SWEDISH:   Bögjävel…   ‡‡

  ‡) “Faggot...  This homophobic slur,  having been reappropriated by the gay community,  this homophobic slur has been neutralized,  & is even used as a merit badge,   & indeed a gay person may  think you are  IQ-befriad” or  pucko  or  idiotisk  & ask what yr point is if you shout “Bög”  at them,  or they may smile & thank  you ;   
‡‡) “Fucking faggot...” This may be more offensive, as its intent is meant as an insult; but again, this too has lost most,  but not all,  of its sting…
