Your smile is so expensive

• 미소를 너무 안짓는 사람일 때 사용되는 표현
• A smile is an inexpensive way to improve your looks. - Charles Gordy
  • 이런 표현도 있다. smile에 cheap이라는 표현은 안 쓰나보다.
  • 영어에서 Cheap은 단순히 가격이 싼 게 아니라 '질이 낮고 천박한' 뉘앙스가 강합니다. 그래서 미소에는 'Cheap' 대신 Inexpensive(비용이 들지 않는)나 Free를 써서 "돈 안 들이고 예뻐지는 법"이라는 긍정적인 의미를 전달합니다.

선생님이 알려준 충격적인 표현

bitch = female dog

dog = male dog

라고 한다.. 근데 찾아보니깐

• bitch는 female dog라는 의미가 있지면 dog breeder 와 같이 dog 관련 일 환경에서 사용하는 걸로 보인다
  • https://www.reddit.com/r/EnglishLearning/comments/12xh0ml/do_you_actually_call_female_dogs_bitch/

아무튼 평소에 female dog를 굳이 저 표현을 쓰면 안된다!! -> 나쁜 사람이라는 offensive word이기 때문이다

• offensive 불쾌한, 공격적인 

Bitch = Female dog: 전문 브리더(Breeder)들 사이에서는 중립적인 용어로 쓰이지만, 일반적인 상황에서 암컷 개를 지칭할 때는 그냥 "She" 또는 "Female dog"라고 부르는 것이 안전합니다.

 

굳이 또 암컷 개를 욕으로 써왔다는 게 불쾌하긴 하다...

우리나라도 개로 비속어를 쓰고 있는데 도대체 개는 어떤 존재일까?

가장 인간과 가까우면서도 비속어로 쓰인다니

 

선생님 말로는

Female dogs don't have loyalty to their mates.

라고 하는데 유전적인 이유가 있나? 고양이도 치즈 고양이가 male 경우가 많은데 male이라 개냥이일 확률이 높다고 한다.

Bitch is a word that means female dog. Why did people coin this word?

• coin : (새로운 말을) 만들다 = invent
• coined word = invented word

I don't know who coined this RBF slang.

• RBF (Resting Bitch Face) 사용자님이 말씀하신 "평소에 미소를 안 짓는 사람"이나 "가만히 있으면 화난 것 같은 표정"을 영어 슬랭으로 RBF라고 합니다.
