Amazing, isn't it?

Furthermore, other pieces there start with sentences such as "We like ass at Strong Language, and it’s an impressively productive piece of vocabulary" and "At Strong Language we love creative swearing." So clearly the blog isn't by written by prudes in the Tipper "Parental Advisory - Explicit Lyrics" Gore mold. It's just someone with a niche linguistic interest.
It's a blog about swearing, often interesting, and no word is too rude for it. I posted the link because they were discussing a brand that is often mentioned here. That is all. I'm surprised by the strong reactions from some.

I'm looking at a few of the other entries to see if it is worth subscribing to.

SJW's should be dragged out in to the street and shot. Honestly it's Mothers against Canada level nonsense.
You think you're some kind of freedom fighter? You're an illiterate goomba thug. Threaten women with death for an article you didn't even read? Come drag me out! Come try to shoot me! Pigs like you should be knocked out with a slap and raped in the streets. Greaseball

This is over the top , I don't think you've read the article.

I know it's just a figure of speech but still this is not the kind of rhetoric we want .

edit , know knowing what SJW means I'm going to warn you . Further outbursts like this will result in logging in issues !


Edit , Further information ,.seems was ment in jest and is a Garfield reference. Still kinda silly given the limits and nature of this communication medium.

I love SJW , SJ is the greatest thing since sliced bread , it's like sliced bread without the carbs.

cheers

Ok I'll refrain from dark humor here in future. The quote is modified from a Garfield comic strip with additioal referance to southpark. Not a statment of actual intent irl. And yes I only made it half way through the artical

Probably just another Douchebag who assumed 'we' were attacking Schiit.

A month or two ago, one of, if not the head, of Schiit videoconferenced into our virtual audio club meeting for a presentation and Q&A. He was asked about the origin of the company name. Per his straightforward explanation, the etymology of the name is indeed based on the 4-letter term. They may make great products, but I would not know, since I don't own any, and I don't know anyone who owns any, and there may be no trustworthy reviews for them, but as far as the company name goes, the joke's on you.

Likewise. I read it a day before you post it and found it interesting.

Schiit's Creek was a funny and amusing series. Even made it's way onto UK Freeview TV, although not on any of the BBC channels, and way after the online streaming platform(s).

I'm pretty sure they avoided any of the "that's good schiit" kinda usage. Although, the mayor of the town is called Roland Schiit. Get it, roll in doo-doo. The quick spoken name can sound a bit like the latter phrase!

I have to admit I chuckled when I read they refer to their product development center as "The Schitter."

Who is paying for these people to make and publish such useless drivel?

Same morons who paid Eric Schmuckle to write this garbage back in '93 for vulgarity usage in a TV-MA rated series.

Only good this article did tbh was highlight the awful legal status of trademarks and such..

Language is one problem for NYPD Blue, with free use of such terms as “‘tits” and “douchebag.”

Oof, big yikes on that one...
