Anya ,'Dirty Girls'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Yep. Same for me, along with "bugger", "bloody", and "wanker".
I've been known to use "bloody" and occaisionally "bloody hell", and even managed to get my brother to start doing it, but I have no idea where I originally picked it up (I started using it pre-Buffy-watching) and I'm sure it sounds incredibly out of place.
I say "bloody" and "bugger" a lot, too. I think it comes from being a raging Anglophile, but I know my first exposure was the month we spent in Australia when I was 8. I got a hell of an education that month.
Except it's not obviously intentional. No more than the rest of my swearing, anyway.
For me, I meant but didn't say. But since I've very rarely heard anglos use it other than "ironically" I guess I can't really say how I'd take it in practice.
*meaning what people usually mean when they say ironically, which is of course, not generally ironic at all. Ironic.
Once, to my embarrassment, I used "Wank!"

brenda, I think you just turned my skull into a Klein bottle
So, is it possible on AIM to have sent somebody a message/friended somebody without being aware that you were doing it?

If you're drunk, maybe.

I'm not exactly sure how many of my anglo friends swore in French, but I came away with "calice" and "taber..." I have no idea how one spells taberouite for real, nor why I should need to bowdlerise my French swearing. But I do, sometimes.

I'm not drunk, but I am tired. (I just got some snarky message from somebody on AIM asking me who I was -- I asked the same thing and the other person was all "you wanted to talk to me " - which is interesting since I have no idea who the heck they are.) I just blocked them. Could they be an AIM troll? (They were listed under "new buddy".)

I'm filling out the various documents for my interview next week. "Wage or Salary Required:" I don't know. More than I'm making now. There isn't really anyone at the company I can ask, quiet-like, about the average salary for technical editors.
