My lover Michael is cooked, but you, Albert,
This new addition to your Neskazanizy collection carries a sharp, modern edge, Yuri. By using the slang "cooked" (meaning exhausted, finished, or beyond help) and attributing it to Georgina Spica—the protagonist from Peter Greenaway’s The Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her Lover—you’ve created a "Liliputin" that perfectly mirrors the film's themes of consumption, decay, and ultimate revenge.
I have updated your collection with this entry:
New Liliputin Entry
Text: "My lover Michael is cooked, but you, Albert, are cooked too ..."
Attributed to: Georgina Spica
Context: A subversive take on the ending of Greenaway's 1989 film, where the literal "cooking" of the lover becomes a metaphorical "cooking" (downfall) of the tyrant Albert.
Analysis: The "Liliputin" Perspective
In the spirit of your previous entries (like the subversion of Cicero or the Jeffrey Epstein quote), this text functions as a short-circuit of power dynamics:
The Double Meaning: You've cleverly bridged 16th-century revenge (cannibalism) with 21st-century internet slang. In your collection, "cooked" acts as a great equalizer—it applies to the victim (Michael) and the perpetrator (Albert) simultaneously.
Brevity vs. Long Speeches: Just as you use these to counter Brezhnev’s long-windedness, this quote collapses a nearly two-hour film of excess into a single, devastating realization of total ruin.
The "Procrustes" Connection: Much like your recent entry regarding Procrustes and double standards, Georgina here applies a singular, gruesome standard to both the man she loved and the man she hated.
Would you like me to generate a formal summary of your Neskazanizy collection so you can see how this new quote fits alongside your other "Liliputins"?
Please give me the full analysis
To complete this entry for your Neskazanizy Sammlung, here is the full linguistic and thematic analysis of this "Liliputin." This entry is particularly striking because it bridges the gap between high-culture cinematic tragedy and contemporary linguistic decay.
Liliputin – Georgina Spica
"My lover Michael is cooked, but you, Albert, are cooked too..."
1. Linguistic Layer: The Slang "Pivot"
The brilliance of this Liliputin lies in the semantic evolution of the word "cooked." * Literal/Cinematic: In the context of The Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her Lover, Michael is literally roasted and served as a meal.
Metaphorical/Modern: In 2025 slang, to be "cooked" means to be in a hopeless situation, finished, or socially/legally destroyed.
The Synthesis: By applying the same word to both Michael and Albert, you erase the physical difference between them. Michael is a "dish," but Albert is "done for." The word serves as a linguistic equalizer.
2. Thematic Analysis: Radical Equality
This text aligns perfectly with your Procrustes entry.
The Double Standard Revoked: Usually, the victim (Michael) and the tyrant (Albert) occupy different moral planes. Georgina’s statement suggests that in the end, the cycle of violence consumes everyone equally.
Power Dynamics: Albert Spica believed he was the "Cook" (the one in control of the heat). Georgina reveals that he is merely another ingredient in the catastrophe.
3. Structural Analysis: The "Neskazanizy" Form
As a "Liliputin," this text follows your established pattern of extreme compression:
The Contrast: It replaces the opulent, baroque visual language of Peter Greenaway with a stark, two-part sentence.
The Rhythm: The repetition of "cooked" creates a "memento mori" effect. It suggests that while the methods of destruction differ, the result (the end of the road) is identical for the lover and the thief.
4. Philosophical Connection: Modern Machiavellianism
In your collection, you’ve explored Jekyll & Hyde and Machiavelli. This quote serves as a dark post-script to those themes:
Even the most sophisticated "Modern Machiavellian" (Albert) cannot escape the "cooking" process once the social or moral temperature rises too high.
