Funny how it never came up when people tried to bargain down at a show.
Welsh-cajun-whiting folks was just too long a verb.
Saffron: I'll die. Mal: Well, as a courtesy, you might start getting busy on that, 'cause all this chatter ain't doin' me any kindness.
'Trash'
Natter 36: But We Digress...

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
HA!
Thanks, I was getting cranky.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Jew you out of all your money
My mother was shocked to hear this phrase from my grandmother a couple of years ago, as it was far from typical for her. I guess it was something she heard when she was a kid and some 60+ years later just said it without thinking about the implications. She was duly chastened when my mom called her on it.

We were no longer the most hated people in town!
Proof you were there! I think the Italians got the most disdain.
In the further adventures of annoy-sara-to-death, I came home to no water. There is a crew in a hole in the middle of the parking lot still, so I have hope, given it is waaay past quitting time. Plus, it looks like an actual company, not a bunch of bored stragglers dragged from the street and handed shovels. (Yes, I've seen that crew here before.)
Also? Tomorrow is going to SUCK. I've known since last week. I'd rather it didn't. I'd also prefer to have showered for it, rather than taken a bath with a pot.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Welsh-cajun-whiting folks was just too long a verb.
Plus, have you seen anything written in Welsh? Appalling lack of vowels.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
In one of the sex discrimination cases my old firm handled, one of the women suing our client went on record at a deposition saying that one of her supervisors was unlikeable because he was "always trying to jew people down".
She then went on to repeat the phrase and define what she meant by it.
You could almost hear her attorney whimper.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
So, 10 foot-pounds means that if you have a wrench that's a foot long then you'd apply 10 pounds of force at the end of the wrench, right?

See, I could understand someone not understand gyp being offensive. In fact, I bet most people would even spell it gip. I'm not even sure gypsies to the general populace means anything other than tambourines, skirts with coins, move around a lot.
Jew as a verb though? I don't buy. Don't even get me started on the different kinds of rigging to be done.

I'd have loved to sit in on that jury voir dire.
