And Steph, who knew it was Voltaire!
I'm sorry, dad. You know I would never have tried to save River's life if I had known there was a dinner party at risk.

What's gaffing?
Setting up the lights on set.
No, seriously.... Though Nutty protests it is a made up word, the term gaffer, in a slightly archaic sense, refers to an old man, but I believe the specific etymology of the term (though I can't find an online reference to back me up in this instance) is a reference to very chatty old men, who sit around and talk a lot. So, I would submit that, made up or no, Nutty use of the word "gaffing" would refer to our penchant as Buffistas to talk a lot, and that she, and everyone else, certainly did in San Francisco.

Not helping with the "not sounding like sex talk" part, there Hec.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Thanks for pointing out the authorship, Steph. It would have been sensible of me to do that, huh?
Penis panic. Which is in no way a gross link, or anything. I don't think. But I don't have a penis, and am quite calm about it.

That link seems to lead to a locked post, or some other thing that's giving me just a Word Press error page, ita.

The code seems to be going up and down. Hmm. I clicked on it again and then refreshed and got through.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I said "largely concluded." Thanks for thinking for me, guys!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
My maternal grandfather had us all call him "Gaffer" because he didn't like the usual grandpa/granddad/pop options. He was indeed wordy.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
You asked her/him to use a book?! No wonder s/he was confused.
I didn't even tell her it was also on Westlaw, just because I'm mean like that.

My point of reference for my above insertions is actually from Tolkien scholarship. Tolkien's use of the term Gaffer for Sam's uncle (I think) was very specifically meant to conjure the image of a chatty/gossipy old fart, through the etymology of the word itself. Tolkien was never one to choose a word casually. I defer to the Professor.
