Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I love that "bon bon" is in quotes! I am not sure why.
Happy Birthday Debetesse.
I am in a work mode where I have so much stuff to do, I can't do any of it. I wish my student could go through my email in-box and answer the emails for me/put them on a to do list!

Bwah! Of course the b.org gets pinged for a lexicographer's issue! Hee. We amuse me.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Hah! Do we know him? Is he a lurker? Bon bon, you're famous! :)
I was saying hi because I've met him via erinaceous, but since-- and I know this is a surprise to you all-- this is not my real name, I presume he doesn't know that.

So you won't be bon bon Bob Bob, Esq ?
Speaking of erinaceous, I was googling for the word origin of the term "wifebeater" for the undershirt thing, and came across her talking about the generationalness of "Bob's your uncle" on a list-serv.
By the way, does anyone know when that term started (I first heard it in 1996.)

You mean "Bob's your uncle?"
Isn't it an old school Irish/English saying?

It's not?!? I'm shocked! Dismayed, in fact, that there will be no bon bon Bob Bob Esq. in our future!!

...how generational is it? I don't think I've ever heard someone use that in speech. I've heard of it, read it, but never thought of actually using it. (Also, what does it have to do with wifebeater?)

"Wifebeater" got its start from all the domestic violence on Cops.
eta: Oh. That's not what you were asking.
