Re: Gambian Chest Transgressions
Personally, Rapist sounds like the machine that makes plastic bags--like that's what it should mean. I like Raper myself. I would say, though, that we could settle on calling her a Drownista, but now even that doesn't work. Just to make it clear, we can't call her a Drownist or Drownista because she was only a Drownista whilst drowning, right? Or is it because she drowned in a river, not located in Latvia? |

Re: Gambian Chest Transgressions
You could say drownedee and pronounce it "droh-neh-dee". Fun fact about Latvia: When Latvia gained independence in 1991, a law was passed saying only people who were already living in Latvia before 1940 and their descendents are eligible for citizenship. However, based on the way the dissolution of the Soviet Union worked, many ethnic Russians who had moved to or were born in Latvia were not eligible for Russian citizenship, either. Thus, there are still a quarter-million people living in Latvia today who are citizens of no country. The Latvian government calls them nepilsoņi, which literally means "non-citizen", and issues them non-citizen passports, which have "NOT A CITIZEN" emblazoned on the front cover. |

Re: Gambian Chest Transgressions
There was another stateless group that became similarly tangled from around there too. Solzhenitsyn wrote of them, but I can't remember what they're called now. Their communities were so remote and secretive that the Soviets found them too worthless to even attempt to round up. Recently, I thought of them again upon hearing about these secret communes existing in Russia today--they apparently protect these old stories and circulate them in these volumes called "The Image Makers", I think. They are claimed to be a really deep historical records of the area that were all thought destroyed by the revolutions/Soviets. Anyhow, I was thinking about how maybe they're all the same people. I can at least remember their mention was within the third part of A Gulag Archipelago. I think I'll start there, thanks for reminding me.
