I know this is a joke, but I recently learned a sentence an English as a second language teacher uses as an example:

"I didn't steal her money."

It changes meaning for each word when that word is the emphasis.

As a lad with moderate homegrown Southern credentials, spent years on the farm where the cows had to be fed at five AM and Pappy was PISSED that he got suckered into buying like twenty emus, everybody listen to me here: "Bless your heart" is not primarily used as a sarcastic or rude phrase. At least in the region I'm from, it was by far more often used in seriousness, and I can confirm that I definitely didn't live in an exceptionally kind area free of all snippiness and sarcasm.

Animals that would be called vermin [Or varmint if you like] will be pretty well killed with practically anything you manage to shoot them with. Yes, it is theoretically possible to undergun a small rodent I suppose. It's pretty hard though. At what point does a well adjusted mind go "No, gently caress it, this animal isn't dead enough. I actively need to see it blow into the smallest amount of little pieces. Let no part of the animal remain to defile my beloved land!"?

Break out your regular gun and normal ammo and drop the thing, you don't need to develop the Gopher Fucker rocket propelled shotgun shell or something. I mean really. "This weapon was developed for Central American Contras to more totally brutalize their enemies, now you can use it to keep marmots in their place!". I think we've mastered the fine art of making small animals not alive.

Although the boar thing makes me curious: Someone *must* have made a tactical spear, right?

But it’s inherently condescending, even if it’s delivered with benign intent. You would never say it from a context of conflict in equality, or to show aggression, or to bait someone into response. It kinda means “I’m dunking on this kid,” or “nice try sweaty.”

Traditionally human figures weren't shown in the full range of attitudes (i.e. poses) as non-human animals, but since he'd be imitating a cat, you could describe it as a man passant pizzled, because there is absolutely a formal heraldic term for when something has a righteous boner.

quote:

Prior to 2007, the lion on the coat of arms of the Nordic Battlegroup featured a pizzle, but in 2007 the commander ruled that the lion's penis had to be removed. Since civilian women are often sexually abused in the war zones of the world, they did not consider the depiction of a penis appropriate on a uniform worn into battle. However, this decision has been questioned by some Swedish heraldists, including heraldic artist Vladimir Sagerlund, who has asserted that coats of arms containing lions without a penis were historically given to those who had betrayed the Swedish Crown.

And unfortunately now I know what Philip K Dick meant by "The milk is thoroughly pizzled".
