i do hope this isn't too oblique

[apiphile]

this is a prophe-fucking-cy

tmesis is a greek word and speaks to a feature in the language of not only greeks;

the insertion of a particle or word between the syllables of a second, to create a third.

in english this splits assunder syllables which made a whole sense together, and renders them individually nonsense; unparseable alone, and

in english this is only ever done

with a profanity.

as if tearing apart a thing that works and shoving something into it that doesn't belong there

is obscene.

invariably the focus is on the interloper,
which no doubt makes it feel very special.

sometimes a phrase experiences the same violence.

For example:

good fucking luck.
