    I tell you what...them thar Frogs shore do speak purdy. You can pretty much say anything in French and it sounds good.

    You could say "I just pooped myself with large quantities of diarreah" and it would sound nice.

    That is exactly what I think of Polish. Even the vilest Polish curse word sounds like poetry. Not a soft language, either, but harsh and strong....jaggedly beautiful.

    Gówno!!!!

    My grandfather always called my a 'Little Toe-rag' now when I think of it properly that word is very offensive.

    peace.

    It's rather hilarious when some people refer to a single person as 'folk,' as in:

    What up folk?

    " The folk " is a US street gang like the bloods or crips.
    People used to say "what up, blood?" in suburbia when I was growing up. Maybe it's similar to that.

    Not necessarily true. I was in the rural south when I heard it. I've never heard it in the north.

    We do exactly the same thing when we use "folks" in the plural: I'm going to spend the summer with my folks at their beach house. People use it indiscriminately to mean "people," so by back-formation one folk should be one person.

    We use "people" incorrectly too. It is not the plural of person!
    Sure, but "bolt" is already a verb meaning to leave suddenly: He bolted out of the room when he saw my mother coming up the driveway.
    "Blood" used to be African-American slang for an African-American, especially a man; an older version of "homeboy" or "homie." That's where "What up, blood?" comes from, and it originated quite a bit closer to the city center than suburbia.

    The Bloods surely took their name from that, since the Bloods started out as an African-American street gang.

    It might be derived from the word's use in old British slang for an adventurous young man.

    Remember the South Park episode when Jimmy joined the Crips because he assumed they were all cripples?
