I'm so sorry, but if it makes you feel any better, my fun-time-Buffy party night involved watching a robot throw Spike through a window, so if you want to trade... no wait, I wouldn't give up that memory for anything.

Spike's Bitches 35: We Got a History  

[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.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

There's a word, 'feague', that referred to the practice of making a horse for sale look more lively and spirited by shoving ginger up its arse.

Aha! THAT must be the derivation of "figging"! (I will be kind and include the wikipedia page, but let me note -- just to prepare all y'all -- that it's a sex-related term: [link] .)

I always wondered why it was called figging when it didn't involve figs. And now I know the etymology.

And now you have all witnessed the extent to which my MASSIVE wordnerd geekery can take over even kinky sexual practices.

It is, truly, a WONDER that I ever get laid. t edit (And when I do, I'll just note that figging is not not NOT involved. Gack.)

Don't worry Steph, I blame my toes.

I'm going to have to rethink figgy pudding now.

Pervs. Those have actual figs.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Eeeenteresting, Steph. I'm definitely going to have to save that one up for a krav conversation (totally typed "combination" there). I know my nemesis doesn't know what it is.

Our wings are not tired.

The parents always told me that I needed to learn something new every day. Thanks, Teppy!

Totally. I mean, NO ONE would stick a FIG up their ass. That's just fucked-up.
