Talk:Romanian profanity

message: Strong keep - as a native romanian speaker I can confirm the accuracy of the info. Profanities of the sort are spicing to a hight extent everyday Romanian. Might not be that all are recorded by specialty or more general dictionaries. This is not due to the fact that such expressions are seldomly used, but due to the fact that most nowadays Romanian dictionaries are rather conservative. Maybe many would not like to agree upon this, but this inventory is rather representative for how everyday Romanian talk might look like.
I agree! I also am a native Romanian speaker and consider this article to be very important because of the way this list (which by the way is in fact much longer) has been censored in my country or simply ignored when putting together a dictionary! Someone from outside my country would find it very useful as these words and phrases are extremely common! This is my opinion: If Wikipedia wants to describe the whole world it is not doing a good job if it deletes this article and articles similar to this one!  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.36.77.25 (talk) 09:47, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: I agree. This article has become very popular lately with Romanians, and everyone seems to add their favorite profanity. At least lock it for a limited period. 86.120.236.174 16:45, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

message: Honestly this does not belong on wikipedia and if you'd take a careful look at the profile of people sustaining this; one could see that this article is a joke. Please delete this as soon as possible. Also don't try to conjure free speech or anything (i don't really know the inner workings of wikipedia) this article does not have any redeeming qualities. Also the reference of this page is a dead link so that's a plus when considering deleting it.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.106.6.44 (talk) 15:50, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

message: I've never been one for profanity and cursing - as a native Romanian speaker, at least cursing in English, never seemed "real" to me - but I don't see why you came to this page, if, by its title, you knew what it was. So you may complain about it? 
I'm sick and tired of being treated with kid gloves and walking around eggshells around others for fear of how they may react to my opinions, beliefs, morals, etc. I guess it's only free speech as long as you agree with the majority. This has truly become a country full of whiners.
Take a little responsibility for yourself and stay away from things you don't agree with. Don't force others to have your moral beliefs and standards just because you don't agree with others' opinions.
And yes, I'll pull the free speech card. It's free speech, thank God!  
P. S. My American husband finds these hilarious!!!
Off my soapbox now. :o) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.121.137.182 (talk) 07:16, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

message: As a Romanian native I confirm pretty much everything on his page right now. I find the Goose / gâscă a word I never encountered to be used as a profanity in my life, its just a harmless animal, I guess it must be a regionalism.
Btw, to the unsigned 86.106.6.44(the Why is this not getting deleted dude), please provide a some reason WHY you feel this should be deleted, or your statement will be perceived as troll.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.167.80.84 (talk) 02:33, 26 January 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: As a Romanian native i denounce pretty much everything on This page right now, and whenever it needs restating. Why would your statement carry more weight than mine? But nevertheless, what you or i have experienced so far is 100% irrelevant; what can be read in scientific studies on this subject is the only thing that matters. So here's your precious "reason WHY you feel this should be deleted" (aka, constructive criticism for 86.106.6.44): there is absolutely no visible support for any fraction of this. The existing document in the 'external link' is a much better approach to the subject, but none of it is actually used in the current text. Plus, the "list" (that isn't actually a list, at least not visually) is poorly written, and quite POV. Also, your identically unsigned IP-based contribution is so much not like a troll... -- Jokes Free4Me (talk) 00:37, 4 April 2012 (UTC)

text: PS To the unsigned 86.106.6.44(the Why is this not getting deleted dude), unfortunately Wikipedia has had a change of policy, in that challenging statements as unsourced is not limited to a timeframe anymore. We are to let existing text stay in until a source can be found - or actually help with such a search: When faced with unreferenced information, an editor should make an effort to find sources before deleting material.
I would fully support stubbing this article, semi-protecting the page, and rewriting the page from what scientific and culturally significant secondary sources say. The topic and its social implications are fascinating. For instance, I could easily see this article mentioning the preservation of Romanian profanity in one Transylvanian Saxon source (the two unfortunate Mediaş residents recorded saying that ungurii au început să tragă cu căcat), or the intense scandals of the 1930s, which involved the surrealist vocabulary of Geo Bogza and other rebels. The endless supply of nonsense needs to be curbed if this article is to head anywhere. Dahn (talk) 14:22, 4 April 2012 (UTC)

message: The statement that "fleașcă" comes from "the same Latin root as English 'flesh'" is surely absurd - did someone just make it up on the spur of the moment? "Flesh" is a Germanic word, like German "Fleisch" meaning "meat" and Danish "flæsk" meaning "bacon". The Latin connection is presumably "flaccus" meaning "limp, flabby" (French "flasque"), which has come into English as "flaccid". One way or another, this article seems pretty unsound!188.203.49.105 (talk) 14:04, 21 September 2014 (UTC)
