I do get the red salsa too, but the corn salsa is very yummy.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I do get annoyed that the vegetarian burrito is the same price as a chicken burrito. Can't I get a price break for not getting the dead bird chunks?
You get the guac included, which the chicken-eaters don't.

Ooh, that's sheisty. (Is that how you spell that?)
I think you made up a word.
Which is a perfectly cromulent thing to do.

I didn't make it up! I've just never seen it in print. [link]

Ah, I don't get the guac. I see now that I'm just subsidizing the guac. My burrito sounds so healthy; rice, beans, corn, red salsa, lettuce; until you get to the sour cream and cheese part.

Okay, I *am* familiar with sheister (though I think I've only seen it spelled "shyster," which makes no sense now that I think about it), so I guess sheisty is derived from sheister.
I learned a new word!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Huh. Wikipedia says 'Shyster' is the correct spelling: [link]
The word is derived from the German verb scheissen, "to defecate" and the English suffix -ster, "one who does". Shyster is an alteration of the German scheißer, because he knows what to do "incompetent worthless person".[2]

Hm. I'd always assumed shyster came from Shylock, not from "scheissen".
(Amusing side-note: when I was studying German in college, one of the students forgot the pronunciation rules for the IE/EI dipthongs, and instead of "to shoot" - shiessen - said "to shit" - shiessen. Frau Janess was MOST outraged.)

Does anyone remember- a long, long, long time ago- an article that was posted here about the negative effects that a formal user rating structure could have on an on-line community (The kind of rating system where every user can give a comment a thumbs up or thumbs down). I kind of want to send it to Cute Overload because the rating system on comments makes me want to stop reading the comments, both because the design is really obnoxious and breaks up the flow of comments and because people are arguing about it.
