St Louis Adult Entertainment: MANN TALK: Why Horses Sweat But People Perspire
The Anglo-Saxon element of English to this day has the stigma of the conquest and the enslavement, political and economic, of the English villains and serfs, who continued to speak Anglo-Saxon during the Norman rule, a stigma that still attaches to one who says, The crowd clapped but not to one who says, The audience applauded.
In fact, what is obscene and pornographic when spoken in Anglo-Saxon words becomes high-brow, cultural dissertation when spoken in French derived synonyms. In France, William the Conqueror, who was born out of wedlock to a tanners daughter, was an illegitimate but in England he was a bastard.
If one wants to succeed or be accepted in English speaking society, he must learn early that his success depends upon avoiding words of Anglo-Saxon origin and learning and speaking the French equivalent or synonyms: perspire not sweat; vomit not puke; intestines not gut; prostitute not whore or slut, etc.
