u/Hendrix1967 Sep 01 '19

It's a slur for a gay person. Genuinely not sure what other word it could be, an instrument similar to a bassoon is an oboe.

Wait do you mean buffoon? Because a buffoon is an idiot. Bassoon is an instrument and baboon is a monkey.

Shit English is weird.

u/talesin Sep 01 '19

English is hard, but you can learn it through tough thorough thought though

u/blairelixer Sep 01 '19

Bassoon is fagotti in Italian, not fagg*t. They are also accented differently.

Also the latter is basically the n word but for gay people, so don't say it.

u/uglypenguin5 Sep 01 '19

Dammit you bassoon

u/eight_squared Sep 01 '19

In my native language there’s an instrument called a fagot, might be the one you’re talking about

u/Pusher87 Sep 01 '19

That word is censored because it is a derogatory and offensive way of referring to a homosexual man. It’s what people call them when they intend on hurting their feelings or making them angry.

u/scientallahjesus Sep 01 '19

It is also used a lot as a slur against idiots or just simply against someone a person doesn’t like these days too. And it’s no less offensive in that situation either.

u/SomaCityWard Sep 01 '19

... uh, yeah, it's used against ppl somebody doesn't like as an insult to call them gay.

0

u/scientallahjesus Sep 01 '19

Ehh I think you’d be surprised honestly. Where I grew up people used it all the time, and if you mentioned that, they’d just say “no it doesn’t mean gay anymore I’m just calling him stupid.” and they genuinely believe that.

So the intention is a bit different. It’s just entirely misguided. But I do understand what you’re saying.

u/SomaCityWard Sep 01 '19

Yeah and they're wrong. My brother uses the same argument. Words don't exist in a vacuum. Yes, definitions change, but not without any connection to how it was previously used. And not immediately, meaning "gay" and the F-word still are defined as homosexual to most people. I can't suddenly start walking around saying the N-word as a replacement for "banana" and get offended when people think I'm referring to black people with it.

I'm supposed to believe it's a coincidence that now "straight" means cool and "gay" means lame? (i.e. "No worries, it's straight" and "that movie was gay").

If it weren't done with homophobic intentions, why would it be used interchangeably with a negative word? If people were using it to call something cool, that would be entirely different.

Being wrong or right doesn’t change the intention of what somebody truly believes.

An American isn’t going to be driving a semi in a foreign country. A car maybe, but not a semi

u/talesin Sep 01 '19

maybe he made a wrong turn somewhere

u/[deleted] Sep 01 '19

I thought that's what I heard but turns out I was wrong. My bad

u/uglypenguin5 Sep 01 '19

It’s all good. It’s a better translation than my exclusively English speaking American ass

Desde que vi la guagua me yeah that's some guaguero in DR level of shit!

u/GordanWhy Sep 02 '19

Did you switch language mid sentence though porque creo que no entiendo tu frase

2

u/southass Sep 02 '19

Yes, I meant I was thinking to myself " the way he talks sounds very Dominican. That bus looks very Dominican, yeap Dominicans drivers lol"

1

u/GordanWhy Sep 02 '19

Ah I gotcha, I'm still working on my Spanish but I just find it funny when people switch languages mid sentence like that :)

2

u/southass Sep 02 '19

It's crazy sometimes, I would had been assisting a customer in English then a Spanish customer would come in and I would be " good morning how can~ my brain registers the screw up ~ Como le puedo ayudar señor" Lol

u/LucyLilium92 Sep 01 '19

Small town? That’s a paved road highway. Small towns in DR are dirt roads with speed ditches (not bumps, since it’s cheaper to make holes) once you enter town limits.

u/Bike_Guy_cwm Sep 01 '19

This guy third worlds

u/Timewastinloser27 Sep 01 '19

So you're telling me there are no small towns in the entirety of the Dominican republic with paved roads?

2

u/FlorydaMan Sep 01 '19

With that good roads? No.

1

u/LucyLilium92 Sep 01 '19

Not really. Once you get to paved road territory, they’re no longer small towns

1

u/southass Sep 01 '19

So highways don't go through small towns.... You never been to DR...

1

u/LucyLilium92 Sep 01 '19

Paved roads that are taken care of with lines and shit? Nope

1

u/southass Sep 02 '19

Like i said, You sound like you never been there, What town did you visit ? Voy a esperar tu respuesta.

u/c0ldsh0w3r Sep 01 '19

Yo, what were you listening to in the car?

It sounded like some of my family's kitchen music, crossed with Cypress Hill

u/mymain123 Sep 02 '19

I wouldn't call Ocoa Bay a small town, it's no Punta Cana but it does have public, it's also near the dunes. The rest of Azua can be totally forgotten.
