DUDE! Those are the exact two I missed! Let's just say that you and I are right, and they're mildly craxy, K?
I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

Spike's Bitches 30: Going on Thirteen
[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.

Right. So, it isn't that one is boldly lying.
Wow. That may have been a regionally accepted thing. Like 'sorta speak' seems to be favored in some places in the East over 'so to speak.'
Huh. This is me. Standing corrected.
eta: K! Semantically challenged sistah!!

re: quiz
Oh, and the fact that it didn't say "whaling on," just said "whaling." I'm killing and skinning the other boxer for his subcutaneous fat? Violent, granted. But also seems way weird.

That was EXACTLY what I thought. Ha! Now I am emboldened. To correctness, I say FEH.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Epic, dear, "sorta" is how some Easterners pronounce "so to" . Those would be the sort of Easterners who say things like, "Aunt Linder pahked her cah. In Hahvahd Yahd."
I got 110/111, missed the sow/sew one... not because I do not know the difference, but because I was having a backwards moment.
ETA: whitefont. Sorry.

That was actually Beej's example, but thanks for joining in.
And you got the two that we missed!?!? Or did you read the whitefont before you took the quiz?

Hate when this happens! That's how I missed (only) one on the written portion of the driver's license test. Left decided to be right that day.

Ok, re-reading stuff? I am all confuzzled. What was I making a fuss about? Nothing makes sense to me now. Please do not hold my weird incoherence against me.
Obviously I have not spent enough time lazing around in bed today. 1pm was wayyyyyyy too soon to be awake.

I got 'em right on my own. I think there may be some regional variation on bare-faced lying by way of bald-faced lying. In fact, I believe that I have mostly heard it as bald-faced, so bare-faced would be a logical synonym, yet I would view bold-faced as Not. Right.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
I just threw up at work. As far as fun goes, that was just a whole barrel of monkeys.
Aww. The little sprog is renovating!
