I'm trying to decide the most badass word I know, because I have nothing better to occupy my mind at work. It's a toss up between talvisota and zerstörer aT the moment but I can't decide which.

And no, there are no English words that can match either of those two.

How about "murhapoltto" it is the old Finnish term for arson and the literal translation is "murder burn." In 1995 it was changed to something that didn't have the word "murder" in the title. Probably because arson does not necessarily cause fatalities. The old name was, what it was, because setting a fire to a building where people live is likely to cause deaths so it was considered to be a very severe crime.

The new term is "tuhotyö" (literally "work of destruction") and this particular crime law is about arson, explosions and causing floods. Basically, if you cause property damage or death by one of those three means the same law has the punishment for each of them.
No matter what happens, no matter what my last words may end up being, I want everyone to claim that they were:
"If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine."
Aww, you guys rock. :)  I feel the love... and the pitchforks and torches.  Tingly!

I'd probably have to hear it to be certain, but it certainly sounds good. Finnish and the Germanic languages seem to be good at making words that sound great.

Yes, I know English is a Germanic language, but it might as well not be.

I still say the greatest word ever is defenestrate.
Excuse me, sir, do you have a minute to talk about your lord and savior, Hannibal Barca?

Then you have never heard of the word pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis (yes this is a real word and not me having a seizure at my keyboard and hitting fuck all keys, it's a type of lung condition you get from inhaling silica dust, cause why the fuck not.)

yes, but defenestration means "the act of throwing someone out a window."

Something I find sexist:

If a woman lives alone with ten cats, she's called a crazy cat lady.

If a man lives alone with ten cats, he's not called a crazy cat lord.

If we're equating "badass" word with "long word" now, then the most badass word is unfortunately over the forum's size limit.

I have had a roller coaster week that has been littered with work, sleep deprivation, winning national contests, and more work. In sum, my brain hurts. So tonight, I'm gonna get drunk, and let the liquor do the thinking.
Does anyone take Donald Trump seriously, anymore?

I'll alert the masses that you may be drunk posting from atop a high horse.

Jean Jacques Rousseau once said that if the drunk experienced his hangover before drinking, then he would never drink again.

And as I sit here, hungover and sipping on everclear and cranberry, all I can say is that Rousseau was a wanker.

Has anyone ever posted something stupid at 2 a.m. then woken up and though "why the fuck did I write this?"

I'm still not sure why I made sounded so angry about porn storylines. Did I think it was funny or something?
