Profanity, according to Webster's fat, 3,200-page dictionary, is an utterance of profane language. Those who had the misfortune of sitting through the first half of the staged reading of an alleged new comedy, "A Shot in the Dark," got more than a serious overload of profanity for no obvious reason - - surely not comedy.
What's the connection between the profanity rappers use in their songs and early African culture? There isn't one. As far as experts can tell, there were no curse words, as we understand them today, among the hieroglyphs of ancient Egypt. This shouldn't be too difficult to fathom, for the very word "hieroglyph" itself means 'sacred, holy, or divine writings.' According to the book, The Egyptian Museum in Cairo: a Walk through the Alleys of Ancient Egypt (2005) by Abeer el-Shahawy, "The ancient [monotheistic] Egyptians called their language...'the divine words' or 'the words of the god'. The word hieroglyph comes from the Greek, and also means 'sacred writing'." As has been well documented, the core of Greek culture and philosophy are indeed African based. Understandably, "hieroglyph" wa...

Sizing up DePaul The City of Norfolk is to be commended ("64-bed DePaul too small, city says," Hampton Roads, June 13) for standing up for the health and well-being of its residents, including the most vulnerable.

I knew I was way out of my league when he added an I to COAT to make COATI. "That's gotta be a phony," I thought. I challenged it. [Tim Hogeboom] looked it up in his tattered copy of the OWL. There, between COATERS and COATING was COATI. "It's a kind of monkey," he said almost apologetically. That moment fueled my SCRABBLE obsession. I suddenly realized that a) there were lots of words I didn't know, and b) other people do know them. I'm a compulsive reader. I majored in English in college. I'm a writer. But in my first few games with a real tournament player, I started to realize just how much I didn't know about the English language. So I was surprised when, on the third turn of our first game, [Annette Zeff] played the word FUCK. It's completely legal, despite an effort in...

(Guero, according to Urban Dictionary, is "the Spanish equivalent of 'whitey.'" One definition even cites the City Different: "I saw a bunch of gueros in Santa Fe the other day. They were all talking about art and shit. Pinche gringos.") There's a difference," Jeff Abbott, who will author the New Mex column, tells SFR. "This one's in a newspaper, so I can't use profanity or anything like that; I kind of do have to be more careful. So far, SFR has worked out ways to see some of the records, but also has objected in writing to the department's response. FOG also is "looking at this," [Sarah Welsh] says. "There are some things with [NMED's departmental] IPRA policy that raise some red flags."
