“I haven’t been fucked like that since grade school.” blew my young mind, at the time.
I think the original line was:
“I want to have your abortion”
But it was cut because it was deemed to krass.
- crass*, FFS. (and too*, while I’m at it)
- If by “cut”, you mean “not included”, then that’s a whole other can of worms re: your comprehension of this shared reality we live in.
Krass is German.
Yes, “not included” like you when people want to have fun and form friendships.
Krass is German.
That doesn’t change that the English spelling is crass.
Also, https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/crass says crass made its way from Latin via French to English, not German. Always with a C, btw.
If you could stop smelling your own farts for a second you would see why that doesn’t matter.

The spelling krass has been the prescribed spelling since the German spelling reform of 1996 (the Rechtschreibreform).
Get fucked.
You’re absolutely right! Those dumb English people are wrong for not adhering to the German spelling reform. How dare they?
Also the spelling reform only changed the previous ß to a ss. The spelling reform has nothing to do with the c/k debate. What was your point again other than brainless insults?
c not as fun as k. no one cares. spelling is for comand line. The rest is jazz. Talking by the numbers is for the coffin-hearted.
Krass is German.
c not as fun as k.
That’s the worst attempt at Motte-and-bailey I’ve ever seen.
no one cares.
This conversation proves otherwise.

The original “pillow talk”-scene had Marla saying “I want to have your abortion”. When this was objected to by Fox 2000 Pictures President of Production Laura Ziskin, David Fincher said he would change it on the proviso that the new line couldn’t be cut. Ziskin agreed and Fincher wrote the replacement line, “I haven’t been fucked like that since grade school”. When Ziskin saw the new line, she was even more outraged and asked for the original line to be put back, but, as per their deal, Fincher refused.
Also, the actress didn’t know grade school in the US is 6-12 years old as she is from outside the US. She didn’t find out until afterwards and was very unhappy about saying it.
It’s 6 to 14 or so. First grade through eighth grade.
Kindergarten to 6th grade (12 yoa) in the majority of the US. 7th and 8th are middle school.
Middle school is also grade school.
Generally not understood as such though. I would say common vernacular is more accurate to the intended meaning than the technical truth
I went to one school, K through 8. Called it grade school. But it was a private Lutheran church school.
I think it depends on if you are talking private or public schools.
Sure, but my point was general consensus. For the purposes of this discussion, I’ll use the US. According to Pew (https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2024/06/06/us-public-private-and-charter-schools-in-5-charts/) 83% of k-12 students went to public schools. Many of our parents couldn’t afford to send it to private if they wanted to.
This of course varies by country, googling for a few countries (Japan, UK, Germany) actually all betrayed my expectations,with higher public school percentages for primary schools than the US. They generally do have different grade structures though. Edit: for those 3, primary/grade school went to 4th or 6th grade.
Personally elementary/grade school was up to 5th grade, 6-8th was middle, 9-12 high school. Technically I started school in Saint Vincent, in what I believe was a private school, but we moved back to the US when I was in 2nd grade going to third.
why? she’s an actress ffs
She’s not American. They use different terms for things around the world.
E: ducking autocorrupt
i mean why would she care what she said in character, it’s not like it’s her as an actor who said it
