Luc 4,775 Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 (edited) yeah, i think it might have something more to do with the music though. seems highly unlikely "swine" is influenced by anything german since the word is 100% a common english word. she also said the fame monster was inspired by german dance music and i think it would be a bit of a stretch to say the word "monster" was german inspired even though it's the same in german... swine is even further from german since it's english. it's just a coincidence that it sounds familiar in german : ) Thing is, saying Schweine to somebody in Germany is like calling somebody a dickhead or an asshole in English. @zexion_armando That title is one of my favourites! You know the internet term for a GIRL (Guy in real life) used on the internet for people who pretend to be a female (especially in games). A GUY (Girl Under You) is the exact opposite, Gaga's a genius . Edited August 16, 2013 by Luc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

garnite 8 Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 (edited) Thing is, saying Schweine to somebody in Germany is like calling somebody a dickhead or an asshole in English.yes, and in english too! of course swine is used that way in english too. there's no reason to make this a german thing. look at what marina said: "“Swine†sounds so much worse in English".

But people don't commonly use it. There's a reason why Gaga mentioned that it was one of the worse things to say in Europe (basically Germany). Things like 'you look like a horse' are bad too in English but yet people barely use it. You never say in English that somebody is a swine or something like that. In Germany it's commonly used for cursing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJ Holland 4 Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 But MJ Holland... She never really said that that is a song, so I wouldn't see it as 100% confirmed. You called ? Yeah, I am not sure "Mary Jane Holland" is the name of the track with those lyrics about weed she posted, or just another alter ego :huh: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You never say in English that somebody is a swine or something like that. In Germany it's commonly used for cursing.people more frequently use "pig" in english, but swine is also used because they're practically synonymous. why is this hard to get? swine is more of a refined and less common way of saying the same thing which is VERY commonly used - pig. i mean just google it. pretty ridiculous you think it has anything to do with germany specifically. europe is not basically germany. she just means not as much in north america. there is the very vital point that the song is called "swine" and not "schweine" or "svinja" or "svinÄ›" or "svin" or "zwijn" or "svinum" or "suina" or "swinia" and so on. i mean, it's all the same thing. they're all the same insult. it is used in english. it is not a german connection.

Yes it is a German connection. I'll quote it for you Yes, swine is dirty. And in European culture, it’s not very nice to call somebody swine. It’s like the worst thing you can say. This is, however, only the case in German-speaking countries where calling somebody a swine to insult is done often. The first 3 German words I knew, by the way, were Schweine, Scheiße and Haus. Schweine is used very common in Germany and it isn't in the rest of Europe (perhaps in Switzerland/Austria/north-Italy?). With European culture she ment German culture, because, as she said before, the album is full of German influence. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

With European culture she ment German culture, because, as she said before, the album is full of German influence.in the words of lady gaga, it is european - that means not german, but all of europe. it has the same connotations in every european country. when you call someone a swine in english, it means the same thing as schweine in german or any other european country. therefore, per lady gaga, she's making a european reference. which is the same reference as used in the uk or wherever else that uses swine or pig as an insult. i really do not see why this is difficult, but i'll leave it with you. the song is called swine.
