"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Matt - didn't I see that groom's cake on Ace of Cakes?

I don't watch Ace of Cakes, but possibly. I know the groom in question picked it based on Steel Magnolias. (Though as far as I know it wasn't a concession to a favorite crazy aunt who baked it herself.)

I've been to a number of weddings where I wasn't closely connected to anyone who wasn't part of the wedding party - is that really that uncommom?

Me too. I got invited to a number of friends' weddings back in college where I only knew the bride and groom. Coupled with my serious discomfort at making small talk with complete strangers, it made for some awkward receptions.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

Perhaps if they upskilled writing, we wouldn't have to face that word.

educate and upskill [employees]

No. Bad. Must be removed. And then I need to wash my eyes.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

it is used as a verb..."educate and upskill [employees]..."

Sweet Fancy Moses.

That's such an egregious abuse of the language that I want to check it for bruises.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Fake word! Fake word! Burn it!

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Can we file upskill in the manure pile with productize?

I'd also like to nominate proactive for tossing in the poo pile. The word, not the product.

I've been to a number of weddings where I wasn't closely connected to anyone who wasn't part of the wedding party - is that really that uncommom?

Me too. It wouldn't upset me if I received an invitation without the "and guest", because technically it's their party and they can ~~cry if they want to~~ choose their guests, but it might make my decision to attend the reception.
