Stephen Fry... you fucking hero

But then the alien would hear "cellar door" and have a moment of ecstasy.

Panties is the worst word.

You magnificently spoken man.

Phrasing!

When used as an insult, I think of 'fucking' like it was about rape. Fucking can be the worst thing ever. Perspectives, people, perspectives

You know what the second best thing about this post is? The fact that it's not 10 separate 1 second gifs.

Stephen Fry was not photo ready in that last frame

Actually it's the other way around. We are ok with diminishing the power the word torture has by using it on a trivial thing like traffic,
Meanthingstosay
but our collective subconscious rages hard when it realises that the language we use diminishes the word
Meanthingstosay
-the meaning of the word- "fuck" by associating it with trivial things. It's even worse with the word "love".

Torture is the worst word? How about moist?
TheTonk
Fuck all of you

Moist bread.

I physically cringed whilst reading this. And then I went to respond, saw the other comments, and now feel like I need to shower.
DrDresDog
Oh moist, the Hitler of words

Na, it's felch.

My worst word is "panties" it just sounds wrong
doctorofphailure
Especially when people don't really say the "t". "Pannies"... *shivers* absolutely the worst.

That's why waterboarding is illegal.

But it's how we baptize terrists!
limerind
kind of presumptuous to think aliens have judeo-christian ethics.
iamthedoctorthisismytardis
Is being good to people and trying to be kind to your fellow man purely a judeo-christian thing?
limerind
it's certainly not a thing we should assume is native to other species, especially not extraterrestrial species.
iamthedoctorthisismytardis
I would hope that being good to your fellow universal beings is inherent in everything. But I guess that's just me being hopeful.
limerind
other animals kill in-species members all the time. it's not punished or considered unvirtuous, it simply is.
iamthedoctorthisismytardis
Yes, but other animals do not have the intelligence or self-awareness that we have. We should strive to be above our basic instincts.
limerind
plus not killing or abusing isn't even a universal virtue in human history. many societies put pride or strength or faith as more virtuous
iamthedoctorthisismytardis
That is a fairly broad statement to make, but history is there to learn from. We should rethink our priorities to make the world better.
