Or barking up the wrong tree.

@gambrel saidSo I'm guessing "Ave Satanis" might be out of the question.
I had two posts removed for saying GD.
How is it that others force their religious beliefs on others. Perhaps my religion demands followers to say it.
[Not that I'm a Satanist. I just remember this from the soundtrack of "The Omen" (1976?) with Gregory Peck. Which I have on vinyl. Hmm. Maybe I should see what the market price is. Unfortunately, the outer edge of the sleeve is probably kitty-scratched.]

@fmf saidI appreciate this revelation, having been raised to mind my language.
Any other profane personal revelations?
Yes. I've never used Indonesian profanities. Despite my fluency borne of decades spent speaking the language, I can't bring myself to sprinkle swear words on my speech, even when being chummy with rough-and-ready taxi drivers. That is a personal revelation that I have only shared with you and my wife.
The coarsening of language in broadcast media has gone against the grain.

@woofwoof saidThis doesn't make sense.
Oh my, you are the talented one, aren't you.
Speaking for myself, I'd love hearing you speak a little "Taxi-Cab Malay" or "Balinese Street-Indonesian".
Can ya? Can ya? Please!
Maybe start with "Long time - short time?"
Or even, a personal fave "Rolex 10 dollar".
I bet you can do it. I know you can do it!
(You might pinch your nose as you elocute: That much-love ...[text shortened]... l quality is hard to replicate.)
Don't fish for minnows when you can buy a whole whale...cheap! 😁
What do you think you are up to, and what are you actually up to?

@fmf saidIn days to come, having a chip in the shoulder might be a wiser choice than in the head -- just in case the head (an obvious and easily detachable target) might be removed by scavengers or adversaries.
I'd rather be talented than have a chip on my shoulder like the one you obviously have.
