Just today I heard a young kid on a bike shout "OH MY ******* GOD" in English, annoyed as he rode through heavy rain.
That's called "American Cultural Export". Extremely annoying, but it can be cured by switching off all electronic devices.
Once global hegemony is established through colonization, a "master culture" is easily disseminated to all who tune in.
And that's the truth, Ruth! Somebody has to kill the babysitter.
Now, something for these days of democracy (a.k.a. this daze of
dumb or
crazy):
Steely Dan - King Richard
Now they lay his body down
Sad old men who run this town
I still recall the way
He led the charge and saved the day
Blue blood and rain
I can hear the bugle playing
[Chorus:]
We seen the last of good King Richard
Ring out the past his name lives on and on
Roll out the bones and raise up your pitcher
Raise up your glass to good King John
While he plundered far and wide
All his starving children cried
And though we sung his fame
We all went hungry just the same
He meant to shine to the end of the line
[Chorus:]
We seen the last of good King Richard
Ring out the past his name lives on and on
Roll out the bones and raise up your pitcher
Raise up your glass to good King John
