Ppink

[meliss]

I'm sorry for this question, but
if somone says "you can paint it pussy pink if you want" - is it for sure coarse word (pussy pink I mean) as the Internet shows, or one can describe color in this words without being rude? Sorry again:-(

 

[Rover_KE]

It's always rude.

 

[meliss]

Oh mine! The book looks properly... But is this still a rude way to describe color?

Which book is it?

When I googled the two words, the first 5 pages of hits were to porno sites. I gave up then.

This one

Maybe in American English it is not so rude?

It is rude.

Many books use rude language; it appears that this one is no different.

 

[5jj]

I have located it on the page - I can't copy it here. The person who used those words was being deliberately crude.

 

[Tdol]

He was, which is why the narrator comments sarcastically that he had a way with words.

I have never heard that phrase but if I did, I would assume the person had no class.

I've never heard it but it's certainly an evocative phrase. I'm pretty sure I now know exactly what colour he wants to paint it! I note that the Amazon blurb about the book says that one of the characters falls in love with "a cute but Tourette's-afflicted" person. That's a pretty big hint that there's going to be quite a lot of language in it which is unsuitable for polite company.

 

[Barb_D]

Okay. I amend my statement. I'd assume he has no class or that he has Tourette's.

 

[meliss]

"He" - do you mean the character or the writer?

 

[Barb_D]

I mean whoever would say such a thing, in fiction or in real life.

Pussy pink. What an odd combination of words to describe a colour. I have never heard of a cat with pink fur.

Thanks for sharing that, but it doesn't really count since the colour is not natural.

Call me naive if you like, but this thread reminded me of the often misunderstood Mrs Slocombe and her poor little cat.
