I'm sorry vw. I hope things get better.
I'm so evil and... skanky. And I think I'm kinda gay.

[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.

You know, I don't mind a restaurant calling to remind you of your reservation, but I think that it's really annoying for them to ask you to call and confirm.

Okay hivemind, what do you think would be the auditory equivalent of "undulating"?

“Not dead yet!”
Okay, context, line from manuscript:
And as if the house wasn't spectacular enough, the stage on which it sat—burnt orange horizon meeting the vast, blue-gray expanse of the Pacific, white-capped waves sweeping in with a subdued roar before disappearing with a muffled crash.
I don't like using both subdued and muffled and it's subdued that's making me nuts because that's not really the word I want. I want a word for the rising and falling sounds of the surf when you're standing at a distance.
AUGH.
ETA: Hec, is "tiki" usually capitalized or not?

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

Are you looking for musical terms like vibrato and tremolo?
Although "vibratoing" or "tremoloing" don't sound like words, do they? But they do produce many google results....

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
