Happy birthday, Jessica!
Lorne: My little prince. Oh…what did they do to you? Angel: Nina…tried to…eat me. Lorne: Oh, you're--medic! You're gonna make it Angel. Just don't stop fighting. Doctor! Is there a Gepetto in the house?

[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 know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Why "A shirt"?
I think it's the basic shape of them, to distinguish from a "T shirt."

Why "A shirt"?
I think either short of "Athletic Shirt" or because it is shaped sort of like an "A". I actually used to call them singlets, which I think might also be right, but no one knew what I was talking about and thought I meant wrestling garb.

Also, I never really understood wearing an A-shirt as underwear. It seems to me that the undershirt's job is to protect your outer shirt from your armpits, and the A-shirt does not do that!

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Fuck the persimmons!
Did anyone else go to an American Pie place? Just me?

I *did* say "not literally" to forestall you pervy people! I see it cannot be forestalled. It is a force unto itself, like El Nino.

You said it in the next line, though. By the time my eye moved to the next line, it was way too late.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Do you jew people down in negotiation too?
No, but I never used the word "jew" in that way.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Fact is, that you will make people do a doubletake when they hear it even if they know what it means. If using the word is that important to you, fine.
I did address these issues noting that I wouldn't use the word where it would misheard or misconstrued and I wasn't insisting on it to the exclusion of all other considerations.

Our wings are not tired.
Happy Birthday to Jessica!
Have nothing to add, except giggles, to the doubletake word discussion.
