Mierdas
Is it in Spanish? Can you help me out with it’s construction?
It is. Mierda is Spanish for shit.
This answer is too fucking elegant. One another reason to finally learn it (:
To be fair, it’s also “mierde” in French, because it’s “merda” in Latin and was “smerda” before that in Proto-Indo-European (meaning “stench”). 🤓
I see. And that smerda word is saved in slavic languages, the earliest entry I remember is a class of citizens in Kiyvan Rus’: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smerd But other than that it’s used now to describe an ugly scent. Yet, I haven’t thought of that connection before you said it (:
Mierda - shit
Go back in the shower and keep thinking
I tried, but it feels like one of them touched my brain ):
I once worked for a criminally-French chef whom I personally witnessed him asking a fairly new hire one fine morning, (please, read this in the thickest, no-fucks-given S. French accent.)
“Do you have assholes for elbows? ‘Non’? Then, how do you explain the shit that comes from your useless hands?”
😶☠️
Fecalcedabra. Voilá, everything has magically turned to shit!

Musk?
It seems he’s more useful than we give him credit for.
Musk is often associated with religious significance. In Islam, Musk is considered to be the most fragrant of the scents. It was widely used by the Islamic prophet Muhammad and his companions. Alexander the Great, whom Islamic tradition identifies as the Qur’anic figure Dhu al-Qarnayn, is also said to have transpired the odour of Musk. Popular scents in Arab Muslim tradition include jasmine, amber, Musk and oud (agarwood).
Musk has been used to attract wild animals, including in man-made perfume mixtures. For example, in 2018 Indian authorities used the perfume Obsession by Calvin Klein to attract and thus trap a wild tiger that had attacked and killed more than a dozen humans.
Musk sticks, which are artificially flavoured with a substance that is reminiscent of Musk perfume, are a popular confection in Australia.
Poaching the rich sounds more compelling than eating them anyway.
I was thinking Sadim, which is Midas spelled backwards, but Mierdas as @darkdemize@ said is way better.
The Midass Touch
If there’s Mid-ass, are we to believe there’s a Top-ass too? Top-ass… It sounds precious and expensive.
