wadda maroon.
“swamped” means “pushed mostly underwater” and is what happens to a stove boat. And that doesn’t mean a floating thing with a kitchen appliance aboard, it means a wooden vessel with it’s ribs bashed (stove) in.
“What do ye do when ye see a whale, men?”
“Sing out for him!” was the impulsive rejoinder from a score of clubbed voices.
“Good!” cried Ahab, with a wild approval in his tones; observing the hearty animation into which his unexpected question had so magnetically thrown them.
“And what do ye next, men?”
“Lower away, and after him!”
“And what tune is it ye pull to, men?”
“A dead whale or a stove boat!”- Herman Melville, Moby Dick
Swamped means overwhelmed, period. Always has. To call that racist is to believe “niggardly” has something to do with black people. Other than when it comes time to tip the waiter.
So stupid.
Those who control the language, control everything...... or something to that effect.
Fucking assholes. Too bad we can’t wish a pox on those blighters.
I like the word “Infested, or, infestation”. My town is infested with criminal beaners.
Drew - I thought of exactly the same usage - a swamped boat - and was gonna comment on it. You did it better.
greyjohn - I like the word “infested”, too.
ooGcM - thanks. That’s now my 2nd use in this blog of a print by Anton Otto Fischer, both from a book that once belonged to my father, and maybe his father before him. Unfortunately, that copy finally fell apart from age, wear, tear, mildew, etc, and wa thrown away this past Spring. And decent copies now sell for nearly $200. But the illustrations were the stuff of dreams to me as a little kid. Fischer worked for the Saturday Evening Post for decades. Wonderfully clear, realistic work.
What’s that saying?
In times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.
George Orwell gets the credit on that one.
