But the other one? Have you seen that usage, or are you just very, very clever?
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.
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".
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.

I guess I better hop to the end of Natter too..
has been simultaneous fun and dreadful day.
Fun: having lunch with the MOST BEAUTIFUL WOMAN IN SAN FRANCISCO OMG. (though that superlative is going to get a workout now that the 'ffistas are streaming into town)
Also fun: Meeting lots of awesome people like beth and erika and Laura and Pete and Jilli and Fay and AnneW and amyparker (OMG!!!!) and Suzi and Toddson and seeing familiar and friendly faces like DX and Hec and Deborah.
Dreadful: well, I've gone into the big reason already. Also, grappa.
Dreading: this fucking engineer mandatory dinner thing tonight. I SO want to bail on it. Like a lot.

Yeah, because already, I can't narrow it down. I guess you're having lunch all by yourself, Nora.
the answer to this particular question is: juliana.
she's so pretty I had to say it twice!
Note to erika, holy shit, your hair looks GREAT! That's awesome color and I love the dress! (from Laura's picture link in Natter).
So, so envious of the pretty, pretty people getting to hang with other pretty people.
