So, would sticking in "whoms" where they don't belong be a reverse status marking error in that people would assume you know what you're talking about?
Sooner or later, you're gonna want it. And the second — the second — that happens, you know I'll be there. I'll slip in, have myself a real good day.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I wish I got the "zoo, supposably" reference, but it flew right over my head.
Friends.

Nope. Bêtes noirs. The adjective (noir, black) will need to agree with the noun (bêtes, beasts).

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Hey. New board.
I kinda like "shrimps" in some contexts. It's like "oh noes!"

In a Jamaican accent, it comes out like schrimps.

What is even happening?
In a Jamaican accent, it comes out like schrimps.Is that "sch" the same as the "sch" in school?

Teppy, thanks for the "zoo supposably" reference. It must have aired after I stopped watching, because I still don't get it.
