The most overused and underappreciated punctuation mark utilized in the writing of the English language. It is used to indicate the omission of a letter (elision) or letters in a word, to connect words pronounced successively (contraction), or to indicate possession.
Alternatively, and much less contemporary, is the use of the term "apostrophe" to indicate a short address by a character in a play or poem to an absent party or an inanimate object. The apostrophe in this sense allows the audience a look into the speaker's thoughts toward a person or object that cannot respond (similar to a soliloquy).

Rhodora! if the sages ask thee why
This charm is wasted on the earth and sky,
Tell them, dear, that if eyes were made for seeing,
Then Beauty is its own excuse for being:
Why thou wert there, O rival of the rose!
I never thought to ask, I never knew:
But, in my simple ignorance, suppose
The self-same Power that brought me there brought you.
by Emerson (1839)

v. to place a male friend against his will in a walk-in freezer over night. In the morning, when you return to release your friend, he will have a coldcock.
The fucktarded Bush brothers coldcocked me as a joke but ended up causing my penis to get frostbitten and then it was surgically uncocked.

Polish is a West-Slav language. It has had separated from lechick group of languages. It’s spoken mainly in Poland, because it’s considered as one of the hardest languages to learn.
In Poland it’s like every region has its own dialect. In our country we distinguish following dialects : wielkopolski, ma³opolski , œl¹ski , mazowiecki , kujawsko – che³mski , kaszubski.
For foreigners the hardest thing in our language is conjugation, orthography and pronunciation. To make them practice they are given famous Polish poem written by Jan Brzechwa called “Chrz¹szcz” which means “beetle” and it goes something like this:
“W Szczebrzeszynie chrz¹szcz brzmi w trzcinie
I Szczebrzeszyn z tego s³ynie
Wó³ go pyta: „Panie chrz¹szczu,
Po co pan tak brzêczy w g¹szczu...”
