Pardon my crude language

First of all, Happy Cumhuriet Bayramı to everyone! Last night, at a party celebrating the same, the host had a video of new Turkish music. A Turkish lady there was unhappy about the "Turkish rap", to which I responded, "Turkish crap>". Then I attempted to put that into Turkish and offered "Türk boğu", which she corrected to "boku". Why not the "ğ"? I thought I was going to impress her with how correct I was.

Hope I don't offend anyone with my "gutter" language.

Was this in spoken Türkçe or written Türkçe???

I found that Turks often don't use the grammatical rules when speaking......strange I know as they are supposedly there to make pronounciation easier!!!

For example, I asked for "İşkembe çorbası"......
And was told that it is called "İşkembe çorba" :-S
