Is that the one with the clicks, Dylan?
One of several southern African languages with clicks, but the only one I know the clicks for.
Look, you got a little stabbed the other day. That's bound to make anyone a mite ornery.

Spike's Bitches 27: I'm Embarrassed for Our Kind.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Mostly lurking...
Dude, you freak us out like once a month.
Well. Um. I don't try to.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Well. Um. I don't try to.
You're not trying hard enough. Actually, trying too hard is often the problem. Sorry. No win situation. The best we can do is keep you loaded with nebulizers.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My mother reached an important parental milestone yesterday morning. She thought it was important I went to the krav centre if it'd make me feel more relaxed, as long as I didn't exert myself or anything.
It's so cute when they grow up right.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

I'm just as clueless as you are, Sparky. I don't even think buying one would help.
A new home is very exciting, and long overdue, considering it's been the two of us, 2 cats and a dog in a 950 sq. ft. one-bedroom apartment for 2 years. And we both have a lot of "stuff."

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Yay, Maria!! That's very exciting!
I am home and in my flannel jammies. I called in sick to work today because I feel like ick. Besides the killing of entire forests with my kleenex use, today has been quite nice. Slept in. Watched tv. Kitty curled up at my feet. I even have a pot roast cooking on the stove.

Art Crawl!!!
Happy Halloween Bitches!
So far we've had only three Trick or Treaters: a wee vampire, a tiny pink poodle and a miniature silvery mermaid princess.
Adorable!

Not great. But I have a bunch of new pills to attack various bits of not great -- I'm about to be a testament to Western medicine, or a druggie in the making.
Thanks for asking.
Go you with the house thing! Very exciting, indeed!

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
Is there an Australian speaker in the house? BT, anyone? Australian slang dictionaries aren't giving me the love.
What does it mean to say "go a bundle" on something? As in, if a member of an online critique group said, "you guys don't go a bundle on my writing," what does she mean?
I'm having trouble parsing whether the group member in question is being amusedly exasperated, genuinely hurt, stressed, angry, or what, and guessing at the meaning and tone of that phrase isn't helping.
