hiding out in treetops, shouting out rude names

hey there

all right, i shall confess the obvious, look you see. so dislocated am i from so-called "popular" culture, or if you like the modern norms and conventions, i no longer know or understand what is and what is not a negative term. this may well be, then, all of something which is (that would baffle me) in fact meant as a positive thing, but i suspect (hope) not. 

the practice of calling people "names" in a derogatory way has probably existed since the most rudimentary forms of communication commenced between us all. often terms used for name calling can be witty, inventive and entertaining, but mostly there is a tendency to resort to crass vulgarity, or indeed plain obscenity. for the latter, such is what is on display here. 

i say name calling, but i suppose in this instance it is name labelling, or vandalising. graffiti, even. whatever the right term is when someone desecrates the premises of another with some statement of insult. 

every now and then (not often, but still) the greater glory of Commodore 64 mode is most useful for some immediate, possibly accidental but all the same welcome (in a pragmatic way) censorship. a much clearer image of the above is on display below, but for an initial, or in the first instance, glance, you should not be too shocked at what you see, for it would take some effort to work it out. that or being good at filling, within your mind, the blank parts which your eyes do not initially detect.

for some reason it is so that, over the course of about two, no more than three weeks, i have seen the exact same slur or slight placed on the property of someone. the slur is very close to the word slur, for it is the "s(lut)" word, and i do hope that "s" word is not a term already taken, used or otherwise culturally appropriated. a distance of some ten to twelve miles stands between the properties in question, and i am unaware of any link between the two places, outside of a presumed shortfall in affluence and an increased propensity to lack respect for buildings and similar structures. 

quite an old fashioned term, it strikes me as being. that's the "s(lut)" word. with that sort of thing (erotica, and what have you) so profligate in the modern world of technology (i believe you can find lots of it on an "internet") and general claims that the current generation are more interested in staring at screens than actually engaging in that sort of thing, i was above all surprised to see the term in use. which makes me wonder if the kids of today have taken it to mean something else, now. probably not, no. 

 

my initial glance did not see the words in the above straight away. this could well be due to my age, and the muscles in my eyes seeping so that focus is not instant. however, i detected enough to know something was written there, and eventually could work out that, like one of them "magic image" pictures, hidden away on this wall was the "s(lut)" word. presumably it is so that someone, no doubt an uncouth gent, believes the person at the address, presumably a lady, to be, in his questionable estimation, such. 

commonly the "s(lut)" word is defined as being a derogatory term for a lady who has had several, mostly short term, encounters of a that sort of thing (sexual) nature. it is not a textbook definition of such a person, but rather a kind of damnation, a passing judgement name dished out by those who presume themselves to be the bastions of morality in society. my experience (limited) or knowledge of the use of this term by some men is quite paradoxical, for it seems gents inclined to use this word do so against ladies who will not do that sort of thing with them. an accusation based on wishful thinking, perhaps, rather than factually correct declaration.

the non Commodore 64 mode image of the first picture? surely, it is below, but be warned, then, since warnings for everything at all seem to be the way of the world at the moment. 

a mercy it is, i consider, that i just do not get the mentality or thinking to go ahead and do something such as this. sure, certainly, i have several flaws (and many more) and have fallen out with some, to extents of dislike or hate. generally, i find it best to ignore them. not do something like this, not even in the hope that it has some presumed (and perverse) sense of catharsis to it. but, then, who am i to throw stones, maybe somewhere to someone i have done far greater damage that one could do with a cheap tin of paint and a basic comprehension of how to spell simple words. 

how lovely it would be to write here that all should cease doing stuff like the above, and rather heed, or pay attention to, the sign off i would (usually) put on posts here. but no, alas, that is not how we work as humans, that is not how the world we have made works. and we let it go on, probably because we have nothing else better to do, or someone else should do something better. 

be excellent to each other!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
