Talking about Southwest Shandong Dialect —— Swearing.

In the spoken language of southwest Shandong dialect, there is a saying of "swearing". In the dialect, the meaning of "swear" is similar to that of "swear" and "pledge", that is, it is similar to the meaning of "solemnly speaking words expressing determination".

When I used to live in a rural area in southwest Shandong, what I saw most was "swearing" among children, such as "Did you steal my candy?" "I didn't. If you don't believe me, swear: If I eat your candy, I will be a puppy. " I have also seen "swearing" between neighbors, especially housewives, such as "You ruined me by speaking ill of me in front of my second aunt a while ago, didn't you?" "I have no time to talk about you. I swear: if I speak ill of you, I will be struck by lightning. " There are few "oaths" between adult men. I have only seen the "swearing" of men at banquets when they advised them to drink, such as "You said you were not feeling well and stopped drinking. Why should I believe you? " "Hey, I have pills in my pocket. If I don't believe them, I swear: if I'm not sick and lie to you, I'm a turtle grandson! I really can't drink this wine. " Generally speaking, children love "swearing". Sometimes the children in Class One (the dialect expression of "gang") play together, and often don't know what happened. When they open their mouths, they will "swear", and some even gesture while swearing. There are few "oaths" between adults, because as we all know, this is not a civilized move.

Now, we all have high civilized quality, and we are all working realistically to build a civilized society and a beautiful country step by step. So there are few people who swear; Even if there is an "oath", it is just a joke between friends and husband and wife!
