I failed to leave money for dinner or keys to my house in mac's bag for the babysitter who picked him up today.
too many moving pieces right now.
Riley: Oh, yeah. Sorry 'bout last time. Heard I missed out on some fun. Xander: Oh yeah, fun was had. Also frolic, merriment and near-death hijinks.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Yeah, the DH went to college here in the '80s and it was common usage. Frottage, though, is an earlier usage, isn't it? From the French, like dressage?

Yes, it is not linked to Buffy speak. In fact, I think it would be a back-formation to presume that the -age in "frottage" came from the same kind of construction.

I believe "frottage"
frottage is pronounced fro-tahje. It's from the french "frotter", to rub.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Well no, but does "-age" come from French? Wondering where it came from.
I'm generally doubtful that any common usages (!) came from Buffy. It was not *that* big.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Well no, but does "-age" come from French?
Yep. It's a common French gerundy suffix.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Ha! You can respect the right to free speech, but you don't have to respect the content. I am a fan of that sort of inanity in the face of shudder-inducing hate.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Is this the stupidest driver in the universe? [link]
The driver is attempting to get out of a parking lot. Driver has lots of room and can easily get out, but instead it apparently doesn't occur to the driver to turn the steering wheel while backing up, so driver rams two cars about three times each each to get out....
