[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I think it means she's 20.

It was referring to someone being prosecuted for facilitating a marriage between an underage woman and her cousin. It just sounded weird to me.

if it's about that wacko reverend, the girl was 14 and the cousin was 20.

Yeah, that was the story, Vortex.
When I heard the story I remembered someone here breaking down guidelines for what ages you refer to people as what: infant, child, etc. Of course, I couldn't remember all the categories much less the ages that went with them, so I just got myself more confused.

You know that feeling you used to get in grade school when you'd just committed a particularly dorky social foul and you knew you were about to experience all kinds of hellish teasing as a result? Douglas Adams describes it quite well in Hitchhiker's when Arthur realizes it was he who locked up the ship's computer by getting it involved in tea making. It's that creepy prickle that creeps up your spine and settles around your shoulders. Lately that has been happening to me without warning. No social foul involved, I'm merely sitting at my desk (for example) working happily along and all the sudden I feel like I'm eleven years old and an irretrievable dork again. I wonder if it's a mild panic attack. One more thing to mention to my eventual therapist, I guess.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Somewhere, I acquired the superstition that you're supposed to have your tree out of the house before New Year's. And that all of its minions are supposed to go with it.
But Christmas doesn't even END until the 6th of January. (Or course, my family could stand to take the thing down earlier. Not sure what our record is, but there have been jokes about hanging hearts on the thing. Basically, as long as it isn't a fire hazard it stays up)
I am a bit of a grinch when it comes to Xmas. JUST CELEBRATE THE SOLSTICE PEOPLE!! Stop calling half that crap "Christian"
After a couple of hundred years things catch on. 'Fraid you're stuck with it.
I kind of dig those.
I'm prepared for the shunning.
I'm with -t. Christmas can't be too tacky, Valentine's Day can't be too sappy. 4th of July can't be too patriotic. Thanksgiving can't have too much pie. Restraint is for the rest of the days of the year.
My peeve this year is "holiday tree". Really? And what holiday would that be? Is it a Thanksgiving Tree? No, nope... that doesn't sound right. New Year's Tree? Qwanza Tree? Chaunukkah Tree? No. None of those have trees. Preeeeety sure its a Christmas Tree. Don't put up a tree and pretend its not a Christmas Tree. I suppose they could call it a Solstice Tree. But they don't.
