RE: Why is @son-of-satire on Steemit?

in #post6 years ago

Well at least you misunderstand me as much as I did you, because there's no anger in there at all. I am not even sure why you would think that beyond the use of the word "fuck." But, I say that often, including when I am very happy- which may not be as often as it once was, but it is stil very much more than your average person.

In future, if I sound pissed off, you should just assume you are reading it in the wrong tone and try again in a different one. Most of the time the correct one would be playful/sacrastic. But if I am in a disagreement, then it is more likely a sardonic tone you are looking for.

Sort:  

I didn't even notice the word fuck. We all keep saying that, don't we? :P

These particular words made me think so:

I am nuts.

Perhaps the informal translation of the word is different in your dialect? Here it means crazy as in loopy or delusional. I do not believe it to have any connotation to rage, anger or frustration.

-I just decided to look it up to see. The first definition given was the informal adjective for "mad." So I assume this is what you were thinking.

The third defintion is;

informal
a crazy or eccentric person.
"she would have written me off as a time-wasting nut"
synonyms: madman/madwoman, maniac, lunatic

I meant more along these lines.

But I would replace the example sentence with;

He really thought he could save the world- all on his own? He must have been nuts.

If you read it again now, I think the word should make absolute sense within the context.

Yup, I'd taken the first meaning of it and it makes perfect sense now ;)
