grab capitalism by the balls

N.B: this expression is supposed to be used mainly by WASPs when talking to other WASPs, but this is not mandatory; non-WASPs can, but again this is not mandatory, use other perfectly correct English translations of the same Latin phrase, such a 'grab life by the horns', among others.

(as a pun variation on the Ford F-150 commercial line' grab life by the horns'), this is one of the many possible English translations of the Latin phrase carpe diem.

as to who may have first used the expression grab capitalism by the balls to translate the Latin phrase carpe diem, IMHO as a history major, I would probably have to say it would have been the 'founders' of modern Western WASP capitalism, Thomas Hobbes and John Locke, but i doubt it they would have used the exact same words.

Non-capital Battlecruiser Arrangement

A non-capital battlecruiser arrangement is a paradoxical or contradictory term which essentially defines names and words that sound like they're real together, but are actually not.

"An innocent perverted succubus lady."
"A non-capital battlecruiser."

The non-capital battlecruiser arrangement depicts "a non-capital battlecruiser" as a word that does not exist, despite it sounding like it does.

-does not censor profane words
-an every consonant, the same thing goes to a and vowels
-uses “a” when that word is a plural noun
