Spike's Bitches 21 Gunn Salute
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Thanks, Teppy. I think I will.
Just put it in terms of "Hey, I know you couldn't give me a quote b/c of the lawsuit, but I really need a quote from an expert like you, so could you recommend someone who might be able to give me a quote?"
Slip the flattery in there, and show a little leg. (Okay, the last part worked for me, but it might not work for you, at least with this guy....)
{{Teppy}} One of these days, I want to hug you for real.
NOLA F2F?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I just gave up on my work for the evening.
Anyone want to play literati?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
NOLA F2F?
Maybe. I don't know if I can make it for sure, now that I have no cash flow. Also sort of depends on whether I do hold to my personal Master's deadline, and when my job might want me to start. But I'd love to come if possible.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
Cookie, I may be out on your end of the continent at the end of February!
Woohoo!
I feel no need to take the kink test after meara's mention of gay sex on there. Just know that I'd kick its kinky ass down kink street wearing my "I know from kink" ringer T.

"I know from kink"
I don't understand this construction. I see it everywhere, but I don't get it. Where did it come from? It doesn't make any sense. It feels like there are words missing. Like, "I know potatoes from kink." Or "I know an elephant from kink." But if "I don't know from kink," I would not be able to tell the difference between an elephant and kink. Is there an understood elephant in this phrase? I'm so confused.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It's a Yiddish construction, P-C.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
I suspect it comes from sayings like, "I know shit from Shinola."

A number of Yiddish idiomatic constructions have also entered colloquial English, such as the pattern I don't know from ___ (ikh veys nit fun __)

Nana korobi, ya oki. (Fall down seven times, stand up eight.) ~Yuzuru Hanyu/Japanese proverb
(ikh veys nit fun __)
Very similar to the German--ich weiss nicht von__. Only 'von' can be used to mean from or of. So, you'd be saying "I don't know of___" as much as "I don't know from___."
