@Omelett_Val @MinaFauna Hello.

[Audrey Porne @AudreyPorne]

My cat has gone for a wander, I was calling out for him when I received a text message and for a brief moment I genuinely expected it to be him messaging me

Girl dinner? I just ate a pill that I found on a bus.

@AdrianEdmondson @NickHardwidge I was so smug to have got the Soul II Soul reference!

[Trellisaze @TobyDSmith]

What I’d like to know is: which question(s) did Ade Edmondson write?!

[Victoria Coren Mitchell @VictoriaCoren]

Only Connect is on tonight at 8pm! But Rod Liddle, and others who find the intros difficult, would be advised to tune in at 8.02, by which time I'll have finished banging on about Helen who lives in The Matrix and has written us an anxious letter.

@1979motorhead @SophyRidgeSky Why would he pay himself if he’s being offered it free by the club? Would you? Absurd suggestion.

@UB1UB2 @back_the_BBC It was announced ages ago that this wasn’t happening! https://t.co/iebhsFqzdo

Oh you want to change plans? Do something completely different than the logistics I’ve envisioned & as such cemented in my head? Sure that’s fine. I can be normal about that. Please excuse me for 10 minutes. If you hear screaming it is unrelated

@CreativeMFreak @wwxwashere Exactly! If you don’t have the dad/daddy distinction in your language (and obviously most don’t) it’s very hard to render it. It’s closer to maître or patron in some ways.

[Trellisaze @TobyDSmith]

@Guguwe2uu @wwxwashere WHAT?!

[Trellisaze @TobyDSmith]

@BloodyButton @wwxwashere (Not that I would ever want to kinkshame but really 🤮)

[Trellisaze @TobyDSmith]

@BloodyButton @wwxwashere But remember there’s a massive difference between “daddy” and “dad”. I really can’t imagine any English native speaking person calling a sexual partner “dad” 🤮🤢🤮🤢🤮 grossgrossgrossGROSS! Translating it with the way you address your father is not the vibe ���😭

[Trellisaze @TobyDSmith]

I remember many years ago when working in Slovenia, a colleague told me that the film “Everyone Says ‘I Love You’” had been really unsuccessful there because the translation of the title sounded ridiculous. No-one ever really says “ljubim te”!

[baba ja(dwi)ga @robintheharpy]

@wwxwashere I'd rather be dead than read the words "I love you" in my first language. Like, the levels of CRINGE... 😭☠

[Trellisaze @TobyDSmith]

@terrified_kitty @wwxwashere And definitely not a priest! (Unless…)

[Trellisaze @TobyDSmith]

@terrified_kitty @wwxwashere Most people stop using daddy to mean their male parent once they get to the age of about 8-10ish. (Some girls continue into their teens and beyond but most don’t.) So when “daddy” is used by adults it has a few other meanings and doesn’t automatically make you imagine a parent.

[b @wwxwashere]

english: fuck me daddy
me: zero reaction
my native language: you see i’m not even going to TYPE the translation because it’s too cringe i can’t

[b @wwxwashere]

the real reason is because the romantic and the kinky stuff feels a lot more mortifying to read in our native languages
