Need help: Photoshop molested children portraits?

2006-09-30 Thread Jostein Øksne
A while back, someone posted a link to the work of a children's
portrait photographer who thoroughly mashed up the portraits to look
like some kind of glam shots.

Does anyone still remember, and have a link?


Thanks,
Jostein

So calling someone a "miserable sod", for example, is the same as calling 
them a "miserable bugger".

I hadn't given the word "sod" much thought until now.

While "sodomize" has retained much of its original meaning, "sod" has  
been watered down over time. It originally meant a sodomizer and was  
also used as a derogatory term for homosexual. In modern parlance, it  
has come to mean chap or guy in some contexts and kid or brat in others.

To bugger someone means to have anal intercourse with them. Seems to
be this parlance that is more British English than American English,

I wouldnt say it's disparaging, unless we're using the term "whinging  
pom" (very rare these days).  If what I see in the local news is  
anything to go by, the "whinging kiwi" is far more common :/

Bloody good too.  If there are any prudes in this country, I  
certainly don't know them.

Yes, because most Americans don't know the meaning, I suppose.  In  
the recent movie Pirates of the Caribbean:Dead Man's Chest you will  
hear Captain Jack Sparrow use "bugger" frequently.  It didn't even  
get the movie an R rating.

It was.  Someone in that thread  reacted by remembering JonBenet.

To the others: The thread is actually about some very negative  
reactions to a photographer who said that she could remove zits (is  
that the right word?) and other "skin problems" from pictures of  
children.

True mate, but the thought process that leads to people thinking children

IMO kids should not be made up to look like sex symbols, full stop.

Of course but the question is where do you draw the line, how about

Yep, that´s the problem. Children dress up, have pretty clothes, try  
to look like grown-ups, and sometimes trying to look like crown-ups  
trying to look sexy.  It is innocent. In my mind these pictures are  
over the line and lots worse than seeing them play naked in the sun,  
but they are more difficult to make rules against.

I wonder what the US rules have done with the beautiful animated  
african stories about Kirikou.  All of the kids are naked and the  
women are topless, but there is nothing sexual about them. Then  
compare them to some of the girls in movies from Disney. They are  
dressed, but...

Good point, we're not the Taliban.

I suppose it's a grey area and I have a tendency towards black and white

A bit of common sense though.  Kids can wear makeup and look glamorous when

Re: Need help: Photoshop molested children portraits?

2006-10-04 Thread Godfrey DiGiorgi
I don't know what the issue is other than prudishness.

To bugger someone means to have anal intercourse with them. Seems to  
be this parlance that is more British English than American English,  
though. To call something a "nasty little bugger" is often used in  
American English to mean something small, insect like, an annoyance,  
or "cute little bugger" is a form of curmudgeonly endearment.

I was curious so I looked up the word in the OED:

bugger
noun

1 [with adj. ] a contemptible or pitied person, typically a man.
- a person with a particular negative quality or characteristic.
- used as a term of affection or respect, typically grudgingly : all  
right, let the little buggers come in.

2 derogatory a person who commits buggery.
verb [ trans. ]
penetrate the anus of (someone) during sexual intercourse; sodomize.

exclamation
used to express annoyance or anger.

PHRASAL VERBS
bugger off [usu. in imperative ] go away.

ORIGIN Middle English (originally denoting a heretic, specifically an  
Albigensian): from Middle Dutch, from Old French bougre, originally  
in the sense ‘heretic,’ from medieval Latin Bulgarus ‘Bulgarian,’  
particularly one belonging to the Orthodox Church and therefore  
regarded as a heretic by the Roman Church. The sense [sodomite] (16th  
cent.) arose from an association of heresy with forbidden sexual  
practices; its use as a general insult dates from the early 18th  
cent. Compare with Bulgar.

Thanks Godfrey. 

There are so many words that are not proper. Sometimes I wonder what a list
of proper words would look. How many entries? 20? Hopefully a bit more, but
you get my point. 

To bug somebody is being a nuisance. I get that. And being a nuisance is
also described as being an ass. I guess that’s the connection. Never the
less, avoiding all "bad" words makes the language so limited.

I think that summarizes my feelings exactly, Dan.  BTW, I brought it
up to Jostein, not because I was in any way offended, but because I

Thanks Dan,

When posting the original question I remembered very vividly my
reaction to Becky Carter's imagery from last time around. The word
"molested" slid very easily into my brain then. I suppose a hyphen
between "photoshop" and the said word would have been more
appropriate.

My apologies if I have offended anyone, and thanks to Frank, Godfrey
and you for setting me straight.

You know, getting the finer points right with slang terms is the
toughest challenge with English. It's even worse than seeing the logic
in the pronounciation...:-)

Actually there's historic logic in the pronunciation.  Remember English 
pronunciation was being codified when the entire ruling class was 
clobbered by French speakers.  No one much cared about the proper 
pronunciation of English for a couple hundred years after that, since 
the Court Language was French.

Quite.  I'm often amused when a TV character with a British accent
(such as Spike, in "Buffy the Vampire Slayer") says "Bugger off",
or the like - it appears to be a loophole in the great American
puritanical broadcast TV vocabulary rules.

Note, too, the difference in meaning of "sodomize".  In British
English sodomy is pretty much synonomous with buggery; in American
usage it means just about any variation on sexual activity apart
from the most rudimentary forms.  Oral sex, for example, is often
described as sodomy (especially in American news reporting).

Thta's peculiar to the US legal system, which defines Sodomy more 
broadly than the word actually covers in some jurisdictions.

it's not a particularly rude word in English. There's even a series of
books aimed at teachers called "Getting the Buggers to xxx" where xxx
is something like 'Read' or 'Learn Maths'.

The only time I can think of it being used particularly negatively is
when homophobic types use it. Although, of course, anal sex is not
restricted to gay people.

Ah yes.  The Great Vowel Shift (or as I prefer to call it, "The Tense
Vowel Shift").  That's when the language started doing downhill, IMHO,
and it's been going downhill ever since.

It was on this day in 1066 that William the Conqueror of Normandy arrived on 
British soil. He defeated the British in the Battle of Hastings, and on 
Christmas Day, he was crowned King of England in Westminster Abbey.

One of the most important consequences of the Norman conquest of England was 
its effect on the English language. At the time, the British were speaking a 
combination of Saxon and Old Norse. The Normans spoke French. Over time, the 
languages blended, and the result was that English became a language 
incredibly rich in synonyms. Because the French speakers were aristocrats, 
the French words often became the fancy words for things. The Saxons had 
"house"; the Normans gave us "mansion." The Saxons had "cow"; the Normans 
gave us "beef." The Normans gave us "excrement," for which the Saxons had 
lots of four letter words.

The English language has gone on accepting additions to its vocabulary ever 
since the Norman invasion, and it now contains more than a million words, 
making it one of the most diverse languages on Earth.

The reason it's so used in news reporting is because it's defined as
such in the *laws* of several states. No kidding.

I've known that "buggery" is a synonym for anal sex since I was a wee lad, and 
I'm an American. However, I think that in both America and England, the word 
has been used so freely to describe any mildly deviant activity that it has 
lost its edge. The same is true of  "sucks" when used to denigrate something, 
as in "That really sucks." In this context, the word originally was a synonym 
for oral sex practiced on a male of the species. Again, through overuse it has 
lost its meaning and has become a general term.

You're lucky!  I've just been told that my polite enquiry in Polish 
"Does Madam understand English?" can, due to a slight mispronunciation 
of the sentence, be heard as "This  doesn't speak English".  I did wonder why I sometimes got 
a startled look when I asked.

it is the name given to the changes in pronunciation of English vowels
that took place from the 15th to 18th centuries. To some extent it is
still taking place. It's the reason why some old poems have so-called
half-rhymes (ie they don't rhyme) - they did at the time - and one of
the reasons why English spelling can seem illogical. Spelling was
codified at a particular time and place along the line of the GVS, and
more or less accurately represents the pronunciation of the time &
place, but the pronunciation has since shifted.

Listen to some of the recordings here:
http://facweb.furman.edu/~mmenzer/gvs/what.htm

There is a distinct vowel shift taking place even now in the northern
cities of the USA among middle-class white people.

You may have fewer vowels than you think! In English a lot of spelt
vowels are just pronounced as schwa (the 2nd vowel in 'butter'), or as
diphthongs (and sometimes even triphthongs) depending on the variety
of English, rather than as vowels.
