Continued thread

"Fuck" is interesting in , as it's the most common swearing and (post-1945) borrowing among young people. The Language Council has some cases dating "fucker" as a noun to 1971.

Morphologically, it behaves non-Danish, since the nominalizing -ing suffix is an allomorph of -ning that only occurs after /l/, /n/ or /l/; after /k/, you get -ning, such as in "tænkning" (thinking).

Sorry to all syntacticians, but my article just came out: "Fuck syntax and fucking syntax in the borrowing of swearwords for assessments in Danish" - the reviewers did not comment on the title!

It lets you know about what "fuck" and "fucking" is used for in interaction, and how they are distributed across different syntactic constructions and how those are used for different kinds of assessments, sequentially speaking.

Two years later here's the next #danishdesign.

The KEVI office chair. The most comfortable workshop chair I've ever encountered. Absolutely perfect.

KEVI is a family of chairs with the 1960s ones having four legs, and the newer ones five. There's many types of upholstery.

These are commonly seen in offices and workshops. I don't understand why they're not more common outside DK.

Mine is an older one picked up today. Edit: it received some TLC and is now in my hobby room!
