Off topic: Translators/interpreters need a greater outlet for their Libido, because we are sexier Thread poster: desiderata (X)
|
|---|
Translators and interpreters are (we suspect) sexier, and we need a world that will not only pay us more, but will not repress our (widely) suspected innate sex-based joyousness with words of policy and priesthood and triumph. We have translated/interpreted these words and can see behind them. The world needs more in the world of what we have (we suspect) in greater plenty -- great suspected Libido!

Or you may not have a point. Who can say, really?
I propose a new ProZ.com feature: LibidoZ. I'd be willing to shell out some extra bucks for that.

Wouldn't you know, a trio of Midwesterners preoccupied with a hot topic...you can tell it is getting chilly around these parts
LibidoZ sounds super, by the way!
Cheers,

| Now we just need to find a way of testing the theory... | Nov 9, 2004 |
Maybe a LibidoZ conference? The midwest might be a good place to hold the event (in the middle of January)...
I'm game, so be sure to keep me posted on any new developments!
Cheers!

The Mid-West seems a bit far. How 'bout getting together on a tropical island in SE Asia?

| foreign language courtship | Nov 30, 2004 |
Well, isn't wonderfull to learn a new language just to flirt with someone? They should give foreign language courtship courses...
One thing though, although I totally agree with the statement that linguists are sexier (there is really no denying that , I would just like to point out that polyglots (people who speak many languages) and linguists (people who study language) are not the same thing (although many linguists are polyglots).

| Translators SOUND sexier | Dec 1, 2004 |
I met a very nice young lady who said that she adored hearing men speak French. I started (although I must admit I was talking total gibberish about balance sheets but she didn't know!) and she told me I sounded sexy. I then used a very well known phrase in French (it was suggestive but tasteful) which she understood. She then reiterated 'I said you SOUND sexy'.
Best put down line I've ever had!
