'Serenity'
[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.
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.
And you got the two that we missed!?!? Or did you read the whitefont before you took the quiz?
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.
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!

Interesting. That one I actually paused over. But the other one? Have you seen that usage, or are you just very, very clever?
I got 109 out of 111.
Regarding the two I missed, the quiz reports: *
50. they are one in the same ... INCORRECT... the correct phrasing is they are one and the same
74. those are all just bold-faced lies ... INCORRECT... the correct phrasing is those are all just bare-faced lies
I believe the quiz is incorrect about #50. Re #74, I've never heard either expression, and instead, have always heard: * bald-faced lies, which is probably closer to "bare-faced" lies, but I've never heard either bold or bare.
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."
It must be other Easterners. We Hahvahd Yahd easterners use "sorta" for "sort of." The "o" of our to might get bitten off, but the "o" of our so, is long. When we smush "so to" it smooshes more to something like "soda".
I got 50 right, that's the way I've always seen it. But the other one, yeah, lotta drama and speculation on that one.

Like Cindy, I mostly hear it (this may have been the first time seeing it in print which would be why it would never occur to me that it might be a typography thing, and therefore get mixed up) as "bald". Hear it that way enough to know that "bold" is as wrong as asking for a "pin" and being disappointed with getting a sharp, pokey thing. As for whether or no I've EVER heard "bare-faced", well, I can't say for certain. I know my thought processes enough to know that I might very well make that connection spontaneously. To be fair, if I have heard it that way one time, even if I do not remember hearing it, that would certainly pave the way for the connection.

That just goes to show how little I know about it.
There are bald-faced and bare-faced lies, but there are only bold lies.
but there are only
What about: lies?
For the Bitches we are missing... Some pictures from the F2F
I guess I better hop to the end of Natter too..
