Talk:c**ksucker

c**ksucker
Euphemistic spelling of cocksucker. Was created to win a competition back in the day. --Rockpilot 12:42, 18 September 2011 (UTC)

 * Unfortunately we've got a ton of these and some have already passed, e.g. . Equinox ◑ 12:44, 18 September 2011 (UTC)

 * this is just a bowlderization, should simply be noted in cocksucker, usage notes that to avoid censorship and as printed in newspapers it is stylized and printed in this manner but is still read cocksucker.Gtroy 01:47, 19 September 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep as it's attested. I see no problem with having entries for things like this. In my own reading, I have encountered censored spellings like this that I haven't been able to figure out (e.g. b****** for bastard, which baffled me partly because of so many asterisks and partly because it never occurred to me that bastard was such a dirty word it needed to be censored), so dictionary entries will be helpful to some people. Perhaps non-native speakers more than native speakers, but sometimes (as in my own case) even native speakers. —Angr 09:59, 21 September 2011 (UTC)

 * By extension, if three prudes decided to bowdlerize p**, b-, and b❚❚, then we should be adding these entries, representing poo, breast, and bum. And logically, we must add an entry for every attested variation of @, defined as “unspecified profanity.” Are you sure we should launch this rocket? I'll be spending long nights poring over Beetle Bailey cartoons for citations.

 * I think c**cksucker is a stylistic or editorial expression, not a separate word, and not an alternate spelling of cocksucker. —Michael Z. 2011-09-22 05:03 z

 * Keep Every attestable spelling. If someone wants to offer an alternative, like an appendix filled with frequently bowlerdized words ("words starting with b, 7 letters" would be more reliable and as easy to find for Angr as b******, especially as it could be b-- or something else), I'll take it, but this is a solution that's well within the rules. Call it a "stylistic or editorial expression", but omitting these letters means that you can't look it up if you don't know what it means. For the user of a dictionary, it functions as a alternate spelling.--Prosfilaes 07:12, 22 September 2011 (UTC)

 * Do we also add an entry for F——, a veiled use of Frances? This is cited in two poems by Poe and countless articles mentioning them. —Michael Z. 2011-09-23 03:01 z

 * Let's see, does it fit WT:CFI? One independent use? Then no.--Prosfilaes 13:47, 23 September 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep. Alternative spelling seems like a reasonable way to handle such things, though a redirect would be more graceful. — Robin 04:50, 26 September 2011 (UTC)

I have changed the entry to what it is, an alternate of cocksucker, i propose that this is the best solution for now that matches current policy. But honestly an exception to the redirect rule would be in order if you ask me, because these are not "spellings" they are censorings. sometimes parts of words or redacted in black marker, shall we therefore have articles for every variation of mother fucker with just the ck or second word or all but the first two letters represented by black boxes? i don't think so. but i do believe all the variants can be cited and that is a problem.Gtroy 23:45, 22 September 2011 (UTC)

Talk:empathy

Essentially synonymous with "sympathy"
In as much as "empathy" has replaced "sympathy" in the U.S. in nearly every context in which the later was formerly used, especially in educated speech, if usage detirmines meaning, then "empathy" means "sympathy" (note: contrary to what it's users may insist, even vehemently). So, I propose meaning three: 3. sympathy. I fear a sh-t storm if I were to actually do it, although, it is entirely justified. "empathy" (now) = "sympathy". I am 66, so that I am old enough to have seen the meanings of many words change in my lifetime e.g. empathy, gay, minority, gender (imagine Lady McBeth; "ungender me").

 * Can you find citations in print supporting the above? Equinox ◑ 17:48, 8 October 2011 (UTC)

What is empathy?
I did my empathy work about five years ago, when the major link to empathy was to a play about seducing psych patients. Since then, I hear empathy described verbally exactly as I describe it, but not in books--or here.

It is pretty-well accepted that empathy, which includes "recognition of other," is a distinct neurological function that creates a connection to the "other's" neurology in way that is unique to certain higher mammals that evolved along independent paths: Humans, Apes, Whales, Elephants, and possibly others. Lower levels of empathy, or natural affection according to Darwin, are found not only in mammals but birds, such as doves that symbolize love, that (or who) are said to be direct links to the dinosaurs.

This is said to happen through mirror neurons and spindle neurons are also said to be involved. As it happens, mirror neurons may just be specialized pyramid neurons, or may even be an abstraction of much higher functioning that we cannot describe.

The existing "classical" definitions need to go in the trash. Altruism, for instance, is defined in terms of "jumping on a hand-grenade to save your fellows" which reminds me of the format of the DSM-IV: a military repair manual. Full mental functioning is necessary to describe mental functioning, but I don't think that the present academic model requires it--or even leverages it, as I am experiencing in my master's psych counseling work.

--John Bessa 20:14, 17 October 2011 (UTC)

I was so enthused by this comment that my original reply raged outta control and became something I need to edit down! I'm now working on that over on my discussion page. :D Charlie Sanders (talk) 08:04, 16 May 2018 (UTC)

Capacity or identification/understanding?
Wikipedia says it's capacity, unlike this article. Jack who built the house (talk) 16:22, 11 May 2017 (UTC)

Usage Note Seems Wrong
The current definitions for "empathy" seem pretty good, and they match other dictionaries I use, as well as my own understanding. However, the usage note seems to suggest the opposite of correct usage. "Sympathy" is not weaker -- "I care for you" is much more emotional than "I understand your feelings." Empathy = understanding of feelings of others. Sympathy = sharing of feelings of others. Would someone like to fix the usage note here? --188.239.0.177 23:22, 30 December 2018 (UTC)

 * If you are going by Merriam Webster's entries on the two words, don't. Merriam-Webster incorrectly states that sympathy is about sharing feelings, but Merriam-Webster is wrong. Do a Google search on "sympathy vs empathy" and you will find zillions of results that display the correct distinction between the two terms. Inner Focus (talk) 00:08, 5 February 2021 (UTC)

 * The sym- in sympathy means same, i.e. shared. This can be seen even more clearly in phrases like sympathetic magic (two things that are alike are magically connected). Random Google hits aren't necessarily to be trusted over Webster. Evidence would need to be found matching WT:CFI, e.g. published books. Equinox ◑ 13:17, 5 February 2021 (UTC)

Talk:福咒

福咒
More rubbish from our overenthusiastic Japanophile IP user, Special:Contributions/90.209.77.78.

For one, 咒 is a largely unused variant of 呪, and for two, 福咒 is not used in Japanese - the only Japanese sites I can find using this word are using it in a Chinese context ("呪咒"+は+-wiki). There's a Swedish site listed multiple times towards the top of the hitlist, but the Swedish entry just says "no translation found for this term." There's precious little evidence for what would be the Japanese variant, 福呪 ("福呪"+は+-wiki), with many of the hits just showing the two characters accidentally next to each other with a comma or other punctuation in between. -- Eiríkr Útlendi | Tala við mig 03:32, 22 September 2011 (UTC)

 * I'd noticed this one before, further up the page under Requests_for_deletion; I'd assumed good faith at the time, but further research makes it clear that 福咒 is also rubbish. 福呪 might be as well, but there are more plausible-looking hits for that, and I don't have the time now to go through them in more detail.  -- Eiríkr Útlendi | Tala við mig 03:35, 22 September 2011 (UTC)
