What's with fucking RIP? It's so damn lazy on all levels. Tom Send a noteboard - 12/06/2015 12:36:43 AM

Typing the abbreviation is lazy because you could write out the short words in English or Latin (rest in peace/requiescat in pace). But it's intellectually lazy because it says nothing original about the person who died.

Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius

Ummaka qinnassa nīk!

Is it lazier than "that's sad" or "shame to hear that"? - 12/06/2015 08:23:38 PM 452 Views
Yes. It is. It's just an abbreviation. - 13/06/2015 04:58:51 AM 449 Views
Indeed. May he rest in peace. *NM* - 13/06/2015 07:36:42 AM 292 Views
