Masochistic Baby
Masochistic Baby
oh. ever since my Masochistic Baby went and left me
i got nothing to hit but the wall
she loved me when i beat her
but i started acting sweeter
and that was no way to treat her at all
yes, she is the one that im dreaming of
and you always hurt the one you love
and ever since my Masochistic Baby went and left me
i got nothing to hit but the wall oh no
nothing to beat but the eggs
nothing to belt but my pants
nothing to whip but the cream
nothing to to punch but the match
nothing to hit but the wall

FARSI
A very interesting article on Persian:
"By Pejman Akbarzadeh
Member of ARTISTS WITHOUT FRONTIERS (Tehran Chapter)
http://artistswithoutfrontiers.com/pakbarzadeh/
Some days ago an article was published in payvand.com (in English) where
the writer used the word "Farsi" instead of "Persian" for the official
language of our country. I sent an e-mail to the writer and asked him to
kindly change "Farsi" into its proper and historical equivalent;
"Persian". He did not do that and wrote another article which was
published on December 8 in Payvand:
http://www.payvand.com/news/03/dec/1050.html
I would like to bring all Payvand's readers' attention to this very important subject.
FARSI (Arabic form of PARSI) is the native name of our language and
PERSIAN is its English equivalent; as the native name of German language
is 'Deutsch', but we never use 'Deutsch' in place of 'German' in
English; or native term of Greek Language is "Ellinika" and always in
English we say 'Greek' language, not 'Ellinika' language.
If you notice the title of dictionaries that have been written by
several great Persian scholars (eg. Prof. Moein, Prof. Aryanpour, Prof.
Baateni, etc.) The title of all of them is "English-Persian Dictionary"
not "English-Farsi Dictionary". Meanwhile the official institution
"Farhangestan" (the Academy of Persian language and literature, in
Tehran) in an announcement has rejected the use of the word 'Farsi'
instead of 'Persian' in English. (I have attached it).
According to Dr. Hossein Sameie (visiting linguistics professor of Emory
University in Atlanta), "PERSIAN, alongside the name of a language, may
be used, as an adjective, for the other aspects of our history and
culture. For example, we can speak about 'Persian Literature', 'Persian
Gulf', 'Persian Carpet', 'Persian Food'; this way, 'Persian' may be a
common concept and function as a link between all aspects of Iranian
[Persian] life, including language. 'Farsi' does not have such a
characteristic€¦"
And finally, of course you are aware that all international brocasting
centres (eg. BBC, VOA, DW, etc.) have "Persian Service" not "Farsi
Service" ;
BBC: www.bbcpersian.com
VOA: http://www.voanews.com/persian/index.cfm
DW: http://www.dwelle.de/persian/
Radio Free Europe: http://www.rferl.org/bd/ir/
etc.
More information on this matter can be found in my bilingual
(English/Persian) article which was published last year in "Persian
Heritage Quarterly" in New Jersey (USA);
http://www.iran-heritage.org/interestgroups/iranorpersia.htm
I hope all countrymen pay more attention to this very important issue
and to protect our national interests use the proper English name for
our language; PERSIAN (or its variants in other Western languages;
Persane, Persisch, Persiska, etc.) not FARSI.

P.S.--- The Announcement of the Persian Academy:
The Language of the nation of Iran [Persia] in English is called
"Persian" [or in other European languages: Persane, Persisch, Persa,
Persiska, etc.] and is known worldwide as PERSIAN. Recently some
Iranians [Persians] have been trying to use "Farsi" instead of Persian,
the trend which has also been followed by some non-Iranians. This has
occurred to the extent that it has raised the question "Which is the
correct word, in English, for the language of Iran's people, Persian or
Farsi?!..."
This question was put to the official institution FARHANGESTAN (Persian
Language and Literature Academy in Tehran) by the Commerce Department
for Australia, at Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. In their 34th
meeting on 7th of December 1992, the Persian Academy unanimously passed
the resolution that this language must be called PERSIAN and the reasons
given were:
1- PERSIAN has been used in a variety of publications including
cultural, scientific and diplomatic documents for centuries and,
therefore, it connotes a very significant historical and cultural
meaning. Hence, changing PERSIAN to FARSI is to negate this established
important precedence.
2- Changing PERSIAN to FARSI may give the impression that it is a new
language, and this may well be the intention of some Farsi users.
3- It may also give the impression that FARSI is a dialect of some parts
of Iran and not the predominant (official) language of this country.
4- Fortunately, FARSI has never been used in any research paper or
university document in any Western language and the proposal of its
usage will create doubt and ambiguity about the name of the official
language of our country."
