I was reading Shake Down the Thunder: The Creation of Notre Dame Football by Murray A. Sperber and in speeches Knute Rockne is said to disparage, “the tailor’s model, the tea hound, the poser and the man who can’t take it.”
In one of his favorite anecdotes he recalls Notre Dame went “cake-eater” by electing as senior class president a boy of whom Rockne said, “Whenever I met him I didn’t know whether to kiss him or slap him.”
Now I am eager to find opportunities to call people tea hounds or suggest that they have gone cake-eater.
Use them! Bask in the knowledge that while everyone else uses bitch and cunt, you are using bint. Why call someone a bastard when you can call him a git? American swearing is so uncreative that nobody notices fuck anymore, but telling someone to “why don’t you just go off and attempt to fornicate yourself” does make them blink.
One of the guys in my club can curse about someone for 20 minutes, never repeat himself and never gets vulgar. I take notes when he’s going off.
When I was in college in the '80s, my girlfriend was from suburban St. Paul…as the UrbanDictionary entry notes, it was still a common derogatory term for people from Edina, MN at that point.
