    The linguist in me now feels the same way about Brazilian profanity that the engineer in me feels about fighter jets

      It gets weirder with expletives. Like “puta merda” whore shit and “merda do caralho” shit from the dick. They don’t make sense at all, people simply chain whatever profanity they find to “express” their frustration. (And you can even combine them, as “puta merda do caralho” whore shit from the dick. Semantically it’s nuts.)
