Now that sounds quite noble, doesn't it?
In this thread I'll be doing my best to introduce you on; how adding or changing certain adjectives may change the meaning of something usually looked down upon, to something much more.. virtuous.
I saw this one episode of an anime not so long ago, where I myself got to experience how different something might seem by just adding certain adjectives to the sentece.
Let us look at the title of the thread "The courage to be a pervert", sounds lovely, doesn't it?! Well, compared to "To be a pervert" at least, no?
How come merely adding an adjective changes so much of the meaning??
Simple, the way the words are perceived by us and how we usually get into contact with it, decides how it looks in other combinations!
Let's try another one: "I am a f*cking pervert", now that doesn't sound very nice, at least not in your C.V., now add an adjective of your choice, for example "I am a f*cking courageous pervert". Sounds better!
The trick is to know when and where in the sentece to add it, because some sentences are more troublesome than others, so pick your battles carefully. Also, there are other adjectives which might make it sound even nobler/cooler etc.~ Note that this might not only be limited to adjectives.
Now, post your own examples and make this brat proud!
