Should probably write this now, I have fast and furious seven queued up and I might lose too many brain cells. To be fair to the franchise, I’ve lost brain doing other things as well.
I know the difference between “Fuck that” and “I’d fuck that”. In fact I might know fuck in every context, permutation, twisted and straight syntax, and possible future use. What I don’t understand is way both payback and life is a bitch.
Bitch was not used when I was a kid except in the strictest definition and even then rarely. Today it means everything from friend, girlfriend, to someone who is so cold they are idolized, to, well, shit I don’t know. There isn’t any sense or use where payback and life are a bitch.
I mean I understand what the sayings mean; Life’s a bitch means it’s not easy and bad thing happen, paybacks a bitch is a threat for some future retaliation that will be unpleasant. I don’t even know why a feminine case is used. Granted, English doesn’t quite do that the way other languages do, but bitch is pretty much feminine as are boats and airplanes. I have no idea why life and payback are feminine, or, in these cases what role bitch plays, because, honestly, in modern useage it could mean payback is a girlfriend and life has good fashion sense but is mean and cold.
Ok. Mistreating brain cells with pop culture. Go me.
