Fay, I'm glad you are safe. I hope that you get to go home for the holidays, and that all those stranded travelers get the same chance soon. Most importantly, I hope no one has to get badly injured for this to resolve itself.

Spike's Bitches 43: Who am I kidding? I love to brag.
[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.
Happy birthday to Emeline!
Fay, good to see your pixels safe n sound.
Flickr friends - photostream starts here. Please to ignore the glaring bruise on her forehead - she launched herself into the end table in my parent's living room on Wednesday night. Nice to see she inherited my grace.
If you aren't a Flickr friend, I'll totally friend you.
Good to hear from you, Fay.
I just showed my cultural American ignorance for several hours on another forum, by shortening a nickname (x from y) to x. X, apparently, is a slur (and while he might chose this nickname, it's within certain context).
Nice work, me. I knew I should have googled that.
...?
Can you be more specific, or is that going to totally give away privacy? Because I doubt I'd have known that either, whatever it may be.
I'm not that worried about privacy, as much as repeating it and maybe hurt others' feelings by doing so.
Colour me baffled, then.
...mind you, I can't say I've got that much sympathy for the guy, based on what you've said. If he chose something as his screen name, then it's not unreasonable to think that it might get abbreviated. Such is often the case in online discourse. I think it's a bit rich to get all arsey with someone about making such an abbreviation. If you're going to be offended by such an abbreviation, then why the hell would you choose it as your screen name? Seems silly to me.

Oh, no one got angry at me - I caught the mistake after few hours and corrected it.
It's just, I don't know - there really should be a unifying page of "offending words" on the web, so people would know such things on advance, and make proper use of words. I'd hate to rely solely on Urban Dictionary.
