I guess the difference in definition comes from taking something in everyday pop culture and trying to fit it into academic technical terminology.
This, totally. Academic jargon != What Words Mean In The Real World.

Is it better the second time around? Or the third? Or tenth? This is the place to come when you have a burning desire to talk about an old episode that was just re-run.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Woe to the fucking wicked.
It seems like there should be a different word for something that's more like self-manslaughter, rather than self-murder, which is what we think of as suicide.
Don't know what that word would be, but it'd be a reasonable word to have. I mean we refer to people behaving as though they have a death-wish, taking "unreasonable" risks.

GRIS! How was NoCA? How's married life?

Hey. New board.
GRIS! How was NoCA? How's married life?
NoCa was amazing. Married life is, thus far, awesome. Though so far remarkably similar to shacking-up life. That should change once we move out of NYC next year though (we're thinking Nashville and a house).

Woo! I can recommend Nashville! Though, uh, it's not entirely certain that we'll still be here in a year. But not unlikely, either.

i'll be here! Kate, it's really a shame that we still haven't managed to meet up.

I might be in Nashville briefly in November! I have industry peeps to see, but may also have free time!

Hey. New board.
Everybody I've spoken to in the ENTIRE WORLD seems to love Nashville. Well, okay, not my scared-of-cities country relatives, though they, at least, are happy I will be closer to Louisiana.
But we should head back towards topic. Buffy is a great show! Though my wife is not a fan. She dislikes the camp, sadly. (She loved Firefly and Dollhouse, though.)

Double-clicks are bad for the internets.
