Erin in Literary:
"La grippe" also confused me for a while. I think I was thirty before I figured out it was a fancy, stuck-up way of saying "cold or flu, I dunno, I'm Victorian."
shrift: I don't often smile brightly, so when I do, it tends to make people nervous.

tommyrot, sharing his favorite line from an article: Space Shuttle Discovery is scheduled to arrive bearing gifts of toilet hardware.
Ailleann: How thoroughly history has forgotten the fourth Magi...

Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. It looks like we'll be departing from New York on time today, and we should reach Los Angeles in the record time of 2 hours and 10 minutes. We seem to be aided by a strong tailwind caused by excessive hand-flailing and multiple recitations of the Rosary in the vicinity of Harrisburg, PA and Boston, MA. Evidently, Maria and Juliana have not checked in with their families yet. That means trouble for them, but a quick flight for us.
Sit back, relax, and hope they don't call until after we land.
From Bitches:
ND: I'm watching a talking crayon.
meara: ... I think as long as other people can see the talking crayon too, it's OK.
If not, we may need to have a talk about how much you've been working, sweetie.
In Bitches, MM and Frankenbuddha made me laugh. We won't discuss what actually ended up on the monitor.
Me: I get why it is stupid to cut off one's nose to spite one's face, but what about cutting off one's nose to stop it from sneezing anymore?
MiracleMan: Too extreme.
Four words: Wet/Dry Shop Vac.
Frankenbuddha: If only you could get one with a silencer.

juliana: tommy, you may not believe in the RickRoll, but the RickRoll believes in you. It's never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down....
Natter, regarding the new M. Night Shyamalan movie (no spoilers, I swear.)
Tom Scola: I hope so, because the trailer was crushingly bleak and depressing.
Steph L.: Marky Mark has that effect.
