Not that that's why you would love it, but it's why I thought of it.
It doesn't hurt, that's for sure.
Mal: Gotta say, doctor, your talent for alienatin' folk is near miraculous. Simon: Yes, I'm very proud.

Buffista Movies 4: Straight to Video
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

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

As the Lucasfilm logo faded away, someone in the audience did the Chewbacca...thing.
This makes me laugh.
I remember that happened when Star Wars (the first one) was re-released -- we went opening night, so the theater was packed and roiling with excitement, and as soon as the lights dimmed, someone did a truly impressive Wookie impersonation.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
I've heard and used normal forms of 'own': "The reason you talk smack about that kick is because you don't own it." Works for me.
And that's a perfectly acceptable use of the word, IMO.

We know a guy who can do an amazing Wookie. We tend to think he has an extra bone in his throat or something.
I've also heard "tits" as an adjective.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
The teenage nephews and niece who live in the OC still use "tight" but "hot" is also popular.
Emmett has also used "tight" since he was in first grade. Cali thang.
The word for "lame" in his school's vernacular is "cheap."

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
I've also heard "tits" as an adjective.
I think it goes back to George Carlin.

I've heard his bit where he talks about them sounding like a snack food, but I don't recall anything where he used it as anything but a noun.

Heh. Bet you can't eat just one.

Uncertainty could be our guiding light.
I loathe the upsurge of "hot," if only because it makes me think of that waste of space, Paris Hilton.
But it's still acceptable to describe a hot guy or gal as such.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
Last month, my junior-high-teaching SIL told me that she was just horrified that the kids at her school are using "gay" to mean lame. I replied that that was common back when I was that age, and, when John Wayne Gacy's serial killings was discovered at Christmas of 8th grade, the phrase went from "Oh, you're so gay" to "Oh, you're such a Gacy." Of course, I don't think that many of us really knew what being gay actually meant--we'd picked up the word in the media but were vague on the details.
