The joke has been around in print, in LINGUISTICS IN THE COMICS A One Big Happy from yesterday (May 25), on conversational organization; and then three from this morning’s (June 1st) crop: a Bizarro with an ambiguity introduced by truncation; yet another meta-Zippy, this time on reports of Zippy’s death; and a Rhymes WithOrange with a
THE RUSSIAN SARDINES ARE COMING! (#1) (If you’re puzzled by the odd symbols in the cartoon — Dan Piraro says there are 3 in this strip — see this Page.) The Cyrillic label hints at сардинкы (transliteration in Latin letters: sardinky/i) ‘little sardines’, with a hard sign Ъ added to allow an allusion to one of those odd symbols.Meanwhile, the title tsardines is a portmanteau, of tsar and sardines, referringSEX/GENDER SYMBOLS
From Kim Darnell on Facebook, a story from a year ago (4/17/12) about the adoption of a gender-neutral pronoun in Swedish, with this handsome accompanying graphic: (#1) The graphic has three interlinked components: The "female symbol" (or "mirror of Venus"), a circle (representing a body) with a cross below it (♀ in biologicalliterature);
RAINBOW COMMAS
In recognition of President Obama's endorsement of same-sex marriage, this image from the United Church of Christ: Two things: the slogan "God is still speaking"; and the rainbow comma. (You might have thought it was a single close-quotation mark, but it's supposed to be a comma.) (Hat tip to Ben Zimmer.) The slogan is for ALTERNATIVES TO FUCK Having posted recently on the alternative shag (of obscure origin), I was moved yesterday to wonder about other alternatives. There are a lot, some of them definitely on the obscene side themselves (a lot depends on who you talk to, but shag is still problematical for some British speakers, and frig for some American speakers, ARNOLD ZWICKY'S BLOG A blog mostly about language -------------------------ZIPPY FOR PRESIDENT
May 24, 2020
Am I elected yet? Am I re-elected yet? Zippyclone examples from the US presidential elections in 1984 and 1988. The big campaign poster from 1984, with the former variant:>
> (#1) Taco sauce in hand, Ding Dongs at the ready, Zippy throws his > topknot into the electoral ring, challenging President Ronald Reagan > and former Vice President Walter Mondale (Hat tip: Tom Frenkel) It looks like Zippy is a perpetual independent candidate, but most of the campaign literature is in comic books, calendars, and posters, rather than in the strips. I’ve found one strip on his presidential runs, from 2012 (in the mainstream: incumbent President Barack Obama vs. former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney): Read the rest of this entry » Posted in Language and politics,

THE CERAMIC GROCERY STOREMay 23, 2020
NOTE: The beginning of this posting is perfectly fine, but it turns out to be about not Stanford’s Steph Shih, but instead about a New York-based ceramic artist Stephanie H. Shih. From her website:
> STEPHANIE H. SHIH explores concepts of home —— not just as a > physical place, but also as cultural, generational, and emotional > spaces we inhabit —— through the lens of Asian-American > identity. Her work has been shown at the American Museum of Ceramic > Art (Pomona, CA), Wieden+Kennedy (Portland, OR), and Hashimoto > Contemporary (San Francisco, CA) and featured by NPR, Los Angeles > Times, Vogue, The New York Times, and The New Yorker. She lives in> Brooklyn.
(Rueful thanks to Patrick Callier for exposing my error to me.) I will now attempt to reorganize the previous material to preserve the discussion of the ceramic art, which I find moving; and to preserve a celebration of Stanford graduate Steph Shih, for her multifarious academic and artistic talents Read the rest of this entry » Posted in Art , Books , Language and ethnicity, Language

Linguists | 2 CommentsTHE AGE OF ANXIETY
May 22, 2020
That was January and February and it was unpleasant. Then things got really bad (last day out of the house on 3/8, then two brushes with death, but that’s not my topic here). So: the Auden poem; FPNs (faggot persecution nightmares), one set off by _Torch Song Trilogy_; and the astonishing devastation of Beethoven’s “Rage Over a Lost Penny”.

Today’s Wayno/Piraro _Bizarro_ “Writer’s Block”, with a plumber coming to the rescue:>
> (#1) (If you’re puzzled by the odd symbols in the cartoon — Dan > Piraro says there are 6 in this strip — see this Page> .)
The plumber’s explanation alerts us to the fact that this is about a pun (involving homonyms), but it doesn’t locate the responsible item. He’s holding out a shoe, indicating that this is the relevant object. Crucially, it’s not just any shoe, but a specific type of shoe, known as a … _clog_. Ah, and the plumber’s job was presumably to clear a clog in the toilet. (But ya gotta know yourshoes.)
Further ah: the clog in the toilet was a clog. Read the rest of this entry » Posted in Clothing , Etymology , Linguisticsin the comics

May 21, 2020
Today’s Wayno/Piraro _Bizarro_ (“Joust Desserts”) takes us to the restaurant Le Chevalier de Bon Goût, whose clientele is dragons:>
> (#1) (If you’re puzzled by the odd symbol in the cartoon — Dan > Piraro says there’s just one in this strip — see this Page> .)
The dragons are wielding tools for cracking open knights in armor to get at the tasty meat inside: their versions of the wooden mallets and seafood crackers used for wrestling lobsters to submission. And they are wearing knight bibs: their version of the lobster bibs offered by seafood restaurants. Read the rest of this entry » Posted in Language and food, Linguistics in

BRO BUDDIES
May 21, 2020
(Men’s bodies and mansex discussed in very plain language — not suitable for kids or the sexually modest.) _Bro Buddies_, a recent gay porn flick from Falcon Studios, with three
topics plucked from it: a bit of sexual slang; facial expressions communicating sexual messages and expressing emotions during sex; and detached body parts that take on a life of their own. Two images (way over the line for WordPress) are stashed away in a posting today onAZBlogX , “Cock
run amok”; they’ll be described below. Read the rest of this entry » Posted in Books , Facialexpressions ,

BALLOON QUOTES
May 20, 2020
No, not speech balloons in the comics, with quoted speech inside them (though those are of considerable interest), but quotations made up of inflated balloons mounted on a vertical surface (in a form of performance art), which are then photographed, to yield the enduring art works: balloon-quote photography. The artist is Michael James Schneider, using the name blcksmth. His recent work _Hustle Memory_:>

MINIMALIST, AND SOMETIMES ANTI-BACTERIALMay 20, 2020
(Extremely minimally dressed men, with discussion of their bodies and of mansex in street language, so not for kids or the sexually modest.) Annals of men’s underwear, starting with some extremely minimal items, including one that claims to be anti-bacterial; notes on armpit and crotch sweat and its associated bacteria, with their characterstic smells and tastes; and (a surprise bonus) the advertised virtues of merino wool underwear and t-shirts. Under the fold, I’ll start with two of the more remarkable minimalist items: the Echo Mesh jock pouch (and harness) from CellBlock13; and pro wrestler John Cena in a hot pink banana hammock.

The centerpiece of this posting is a poem by Conrad Aiken, “Music I Heard”, about the loss of someone much loved, and about the way the things that they touched and used can continue to resonate with you after they are gone. I was reminded of this poem by Mark Seiden (in Facebook), who heard echoes of it in my recent Facebook postings about the things that were touched and used by my two dead partners (Ann Daingerfield (Zwicky), gone in 1985; Jacques Henry Transue, gone in 2003), especially their clothing, especially through the scents of their bodies as carried by this clothing. Mark’s FB note pointed not just to the Aiken poem, but to an especially moving setting of it by the composer Henry Cowell. The Cowell was new to me, though I was familiar with a (characteristically operatic) setting by Leonard Bernstein. So, yes, this looks all high-artsy, with serious poetry and music all over it, but it’s also pretty much as deeply carnal as you can get, about bodies and their smells and tastes. Both of these things areimportant.
