The word oval office I think is seen as worse in America than in the U.K. because in America it's purely something you call women whereas anyone can be / is a oval office in the U.K. Swear words regarding body parts are seen as the less offensive ones in Dutch a.k.a. it's pretty normal referring to close colleagues as "lul" (dick) or "kut" (oval office) in an non-work setting whereas the only ones that are really taboo are the ones referencing disease like "kankerlijer" (cancer sufferer) and ditto "teringlijer" (TB) "tiefuslijer" (typhoid). You just don't say those. By way of content here are some more awkward and ugly Dutch things you generally don't refer to out loud unless you want people to think badly of you:

Sad lions posted:What happens when someone actually has cancer? This is why you never use them because it's a pretty horrifying situation to use that word in front of a cancer patient or you know, any of the millions of people who are dealing with a friend's/relative's cancer at the moment. It's a really awful thing to say and you generally only hear it used between people that really hate each other's guts (between rivaling soccer fans, during bar brawls). Edit - in case you meant what do you call someone who actually has cancer, you'd typically refer to them as "kankerpatient" (cancer patient) or "iemand die lijdt aan kanker" (someone who is suffering from cancer) because "kankerlijer" is exclusively a swear word and never used as a description of a cancer patient.

Is it kind of like the difference between compassionately telling somebody "I'm sorry to hear you have cancer" and callously telling them "I'm sorry to hear you're a disease-ridden mess"? They basically mean the same thing, but one is kind and one is cruel?

One is meant as an insult, the other is a factual statement, though you could argue that they both mean the same thing.

Sorry for harping on, but I'm confused as to why if someone didn't actually have cancer, why would you use that word as an insult? Surely the response is "I don't have cancer"?

This is the first time that I noticed that the zoomed in part of the picture isn't actually a zoomed in part of that picture at all. It's a completely different picture that has been zoomed in. Cause when you see a woman with flies on her but you want to take at least two pictures of that!

Are you serious? It's an expletive that they use to add emphasis to whatever they're saying. It doesn't literally mean that they think X has or is related to cancer. That's...how swear words usually work, actually. If you're Flemish, Dutch swear words just sound kind of funny and it's hard to take them seriously. Typhus was eradicated about a century ago, why are you still using it as an insult?

Applying that logic to the swear word "oval office" would mean you could just respond "I am not literally a vagina". "Kanker" just sounds really harsh. "Kankerlijer" not neccessarily means you think someone has cancer, neither does it mean you want someone to get it, it's just a horrible slur with no philosophy behind it.

"Kankerlijer" not neccessarily means you think someone has cancer, neither does it mean you want someone to get it, it's just a horrible slur with no philosophy behind it. The use of kanker as a swearword comes from the time where any kind of cancer was a death sentence, and there was a huge taboo talking about it. My granny told me that they wouldnt even say the word Kanker when talking about the disease, they said 'K'. So calling someone a kankerlijer was the most horrible thing you could say to a person, making it a good swearword. And the word just sounds so harsh with the hard K's, it rolls of the tongue beautifully.

I find these ones worse than the total loving pig slob, flies all over the arse fatties. This though  ; She's trying so hard to be pretty and it's all for poo poo because nothing can hide the fact that she is uglier than a bag of bashed crabs. No amount of fancy clothes, make up, giant burgers or hair accessories will salvage that mess. The harder they try the more depressed I become.Have something awkward instead. I assume by pony she means MLP and that is one of those pony mark things?

Well, that's certainly not the most embarrassing thing you could shave into your head.  A lot of guys at my high school would do that and frankly that cutie mark just looks like a comic book "POW!" bubble or something.

When you're THAT fat, swimming or even just standing in a pool up to your neck must be like the greatest thing EVER. Imagine labouring under that crushing weight all the time but then you get in the water and it all floats and lifts away and your frame is suddenly free from the pressure. Like zero gravity.
