The whole sentence "translates" to "They are not in heaven, for they fuck the wives of Ely.", or "absunt in coelis, propter fuccant vivvys d'heli". Everything after propter is of course pseudo-Latin, getting worse as the the clause goes on: Only fuccant uses Latin inflection, vivvys makes no sense but does have the -s masculine/feminine accusative plural (rosas, servos, noctes, manus, res), and d'heli sounds French.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8823073892487105533.post-41907629514015933552019-10-23T23:47:03.666-05:002019-10-23T23:47:03.666-05:00'fuck' is germanic in origin, as far as i ...'fuck' is germanic in origin, as far as i know? unless somebody in historical linguistics has got up a new theory, or taken it deeper(?)von.wittghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09724003918369519953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8823073892487105533.post-29784194831804487722018-05-08T05:38:08.530-05:002018-05-08T05:38:08.530-05:00Fuck has been taboo as long as it's been writt...Fuck has been taboo as long as it's been written.

Sucking is seen as gay, but not compromising your masculinity per se.<br /><br />Keep in mind, LGBT rights has become an inseparable part of our nationalism, but it's still something I could see why mainstream gay guys might object.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8823073892487105533.post-53591184619789298722018-05-07T06:53:20.333-05:002018-05-07T06:53:20.333-05:00You really said WTF in 1980?You really said WTF in 1980?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8823073892487105533.post-88919914168616113342016-09-07T16:02:08.977-05:002016-09-07T16:02:08.977-05:00Damn, those sausages could choke a horse...
