    ABF you fucking urine stain/ E and (sometimes) I are used as a silent letter to denote a change in the pronunciation of a letter before it (as opposed to using dots and dashes above the letters)

    So:

    ABF you fucking URIN stain, carries the characteristics of words like "Urn" causing you to want to pronounce the word as "err en". In fact by adding the silent E at the end, you give the word weight that creates a longer word, causing the U to sound as Y.

    ABF you fucking urine STAN, obviously we create a new word (in this case a name) by only changing the way we sound out the A sound. Instead of Ay (as in hay) we get Ah as in apple. The I tells us that we can add the particular A sound to create the new word to reference a permanent spill or mark (in this case urine).

    God, I hate you.
