Does this imply that some anthems ironically mention boobs?

No, reading it in that way is wrong. The lyrics are talking about the land, the country. Not a person. In context it can only mean heart or core, not breast.

The state flag of Virginia has boobs on it, also an active call for violence. Not the same, but its in the spirit of the post.

Oh, you mean they knew the real anthem? ;) The one people actually know the lyrics to.

I always find it funny when the far right voters are singing it whole hartedly.

They're not contrarian, bosom can refer to breasts but that's not the only definition. I'm pretty sure it's not even the primary definition for the majority of the word's existence.

I don't really want to link a bible site but take your pick and search for the word. 50+ references and it rarely meant boobs. It meant...the area of hugging. How could a man put his hands between his tits? Cradling a child is holding it in your bosom. A baby doesn't suck milk from bosoms.

Bosom meant the chest area even if it generally only used to mean breasts nowadays.

The Battle Hymn of the Republic mentions Jesus's boobs, then.

Thailand's national anthem is smuttier, then, since it talks about holding Thai people in boobs, not just an abstract concept like liberty!

Like chicken breast?

I have liberty in my tits. They demand freedom!

Nice pecs bro

Yeah it seems like it began meaning chest, became a polite way of saying boobs, and eventually the latter edged out the former. Mind you this is in English and the line in question is Portuguese so maybe arguing English semantics isn't helping us get close to the truth.

If anyone here speaks Portuguese I'd love to hear if that word has any of these implications in Portuguese.

I really do not like austropop (outside of the EAV, courtesy of my childhood), but even i know those lyrics by heart.

And yes, it is very funny - it's similar to republicans thinking Rage against the Machine became woke lol

the word "seios" nowadays is largely equivelent to "breasts" but it seems like it meant chest more generally in past

because the common use of it nowadays means "breasts", the lyrics were written over a hundred years ago, that does not mean that that was the most common usage at the time or the intended one

no

And it's important to add, one of the cassi belli for the war of 1812 was the british impressment of sailors on American vessels, including American citizens.

USA USA USA! But for real, we started the war, yes, but we had reasonable cassus belli (embargoing our trade with france and kidnapping our seamen into the british navy) and the poem is about a defensive battle.

I still think our national anthem should be a secularized version of the battle hymn of the republic.

Makes sense, I guess bosom is an excellent translation then lol

Is this a meme conversation? A meme point that youre trying to make?

Welsh national anthem mentions blood

I think more boobs would be good in most national anthems

Where does the Star Spangled Banner mention blood?

Do the other 3 verses count if nobody knows them?

Verse 3.
Well beyond the usual first verse recitation.

3rd stanza. In school I think we never went beyond the first stanza.

Their blood has wash'd out their foul footstep's pollution

metal asf

one of the iterations of Ukraine's national anthem lyrics from early 20th century had blood mentioned in the context of dark past history of wars and occupation and how our people persist in spite of everything. that bit wasn't in the original poem and its musical adaptation which was about glorious past and wishful bright future. then there was late 20th iteration that replaced that bit with a bloody battle going from the river San to river Don. San and Don rivers were previously mentioned as abstract furthest points of slavic people agglomeration. That version also mentions river Dnipro in a different part and calls it Granpa Dnipro.

i don't think they are aware of that

Australia is the only anthem who mentions how girt we are

The song sucks anyway, there I said it.

Do the other verses count if nobody knows them?

But it's the only way that the word "blood" might be connected to the austrian anthem at all. Only the word "Heart" appears, as in "heart of Europe". They probably asked an LLM.

far from wildest shit it can pull.

Yeah, if you ask often enough LLMs probably accuse Austrians of cannibalism and institutionally enforced incest.

well, i once convinced Claude that Claude Shannon don't exist. everything is possible.

Breaking LLMs is seriously fun btw lol https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fhi6JU5pOJk

that's just cruel. where i can get more?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lk3jCuITwcE is what i am watching right now lol Kitboga is a good source in general for this stuff.

thx

Sein also means breast in french

I think they do in the secret stanzas where they list all the types of sausages

Norway mentiones how the Olaf Haraldson died the "martyr" death in 1030 while trying to make Norway christian. The entire second verse is about the early medieval kings.
The stanza in the second verse reads something like this:
"..On the country Olav painted the cross with his blood"

With "this stuff" i meant messing with scammers in general, which i find even more amusing - LLMs all break the same way pretty fast, it gets old soon.

I won't take that rage bait

Just nobody can understand it.

i really like how chinese models go off the deep end and then some. it's like reverse I have no mouth and you're AM.

How could a man put his hands between his tits?

Well, if he is very fat, has gynecomastia, or has not gotten top surgery yet, so technically...

I also would've accepted "Boogity, Boogity, Boogity, Amen."

I legitimately thought they were bullshiting until I went and looked it up. In my 40-some years on planet earth, I have never heard anyone sing the song beyond the first stanza. The song having multiple stanzas has never even been brought up.

I don't know, while that one is iconic I'm not sure it actually synthesizes the true spirit of america quite like starting off the Oscar Mayer Weiner 500 like that...

The myth of how the flag came to be mentions it I suppose ... the red parts are blood, the white was covered and so not bloodied.
