'Our Mrs. Reynolds'
[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.
re: Indigo Children
Ms. Jackson compared people who do not recognize indigos to Muggles, the name used by J. K. Rowling in the Harry Potter books to describe ordinary people who have no connection with magic. "I would say 90 percent of the world is like the Muggles," she said. "You don't talk about this stuff with them because it's going to scare them."
"Enormous eye-roll" is a fear response?
I might could do it.
I think she just made her point.
how in heavens name would she know that about me?
Lots and lots of analysis of recorded conversations.
Also, did she really use "might could" in that instance? It's one of my favorite constructions, but it's hardly standard (or even heard outside the south).
I used to date a guy with a foot fetish. It really wasn't bad or even all that weird. The up side is that he frequently bought me shoes. Of course, many of them could not be worn in public. Or even standing up for that matter.
Sighhh...
I need a man who wants to rub my feet and give me pedicures... as long as he wants to screw too.

I'm quoting from memory, so I doubt she used that phrase. Being from the South, it is a phrase I do use, though, so it's probably my wording and not her's.

He used to give great foot rubs and would pay for my pedicures. Again, there are definite up sides.
That NYT article refers to someone showing off her pretty slips with slit skirts. It's going to take a lot to make me think a visible slip under a skirt is anything but someone who can't put an outfit together. I'm still not accepting that visible bra straps is anything but tacky.
Now, the woman had laid eyes on me for all of 90 minutes at that point and I had only made about 3 short comments, so how in heavens name would she know that about me?
Grammardar?

If the slip or skirt is lace in a contrasty color, then maybe. Otherwise, le big no.
