wed., 16 oct., 2024: a most sincere icelandic apology, i.: give us This Day our Daily Curse
[NOTE: these terms are weaponized language, & meant to give offense. Which is the whole & compleat & entirely total point of insult & invective, obscenity & blasphemy, & other political speech.]
ICELANDIC: Fyrirgefðu, kisu, en ég prumpaði… ‡
‡) Lit., “I’m sorry kitty, but I farted…” / “I’m sorry kitty cat, but I farted…”
[NOTE: While yr cat indeed may be alarmed or startled if the fart is loud, any offense they choose to take shall be strictly performative. Yr cat comrade shall most probably forgive you by, if not before, supper time. & you never have to apologize for anything to a dog, because they have no pride.] [Courtesy, Tumbler… orig. Tumbler version posted in French only]
