Vengeful and Awake

*grrrrrr*

Apparently, they're cutting down a tree in the courtyard. (Yesterday, I thought, "apparently, they're trimming a tree". Current data indicates this is no longer the case.) Said arbor is directly between my bedroom and my office windows and a couple meters from the apartment wall.

Chainsaw. 8 am. I retired for bed at 2 am after doing some web page checking for a friend of mine.

Just for the record? A chainsaw in the morning is worse than a gas-powered leafblower, which was both yesterday's and Monday's wake-up noise. All things, i.e., my bedtime, being equal.

I need a good, verbose, cussing language. English is too curt, I want something lyrical, where, may parasites gnaw your intestines from inside-out for a thousand years, or gods curse you with skin-devouring necrotic bacteria and a desperate mini-cam news crew is considered "a little short, but OK in a pinch".

Score!

Woo-hoo!

Expletive Not Deleted (SG-1 vignette, no spoilers)

Jack nearly slammed the antiquated-by-now-goddammit M-16 to the ground. "Fuck! The fucking fucker's fucking fucked!"

Teal'C cocked an eyebrow, which, according to Daniel Jackson in some of his off-base, ouzo-drinking, and therefore more inebriated moments, was Jaffa, Teal'C Dialect, for "is that a Tauri thing, or are you insane?". The first time Daniel revealed this linguistic mastery of The Brow of Teal'C, he had promptly hiccupped, gestured with (thus spilling most of ) his drink, and finished, "again".

"How many parts of speech was that, just now?"

O'Neill flashed his 'shut up before I break something on purpose, Daniel' look. It was not all that distinguishable from his other 'shut up' looks, but The Brow of Teal'C wasn't the only mode of communication whose interpretation the members of SG-1 had mastered.

It had been a long day, so Daniel ignored it. "Really, Jack, 'fuck' is a remarkably versatile word in vulgar usage. Verb, noun, adjective -- "

"Daniel...."

The other man smirked. Carter walked off for a little perimeter inspection to keep from laughing at her superior to his face. Teal'C, brow in tow, followed.

"I'm gonna verb you in about three seconds -- "

"Big words, Jack. Big words."
