Buffy ,'Get It Done'
[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.
Because "I'm suspicious of what you just said" is synonymous with "I don't believe you."
This. And "dishonest" is saying that the person is being deliberately deceptive. Not at all the same as "speaking from a limited perspective" or "from a perspective that doesn't mesh with mine" or even "a perspective that is contradicted by the facts."
These are some very loaded terms in English, Shir.
FYI, Shir, women can indeed be color-blind, it's just far less common among women than men. My BFF's mother is red-green color-blind.
And it was in The Lost Heir Job.
Shir, I'm grateful that Jess and bonny and brenda have tried to explain the disconnect on using the word "suspicious."
I really can't discuss this any more, because it's frustrating the ever-living shit out of me.
Anyone else reminded of Kelly Kapour saying "I don't talk *trash*, I talk *smack*...Smack talk is just like, right there. Your boyfriend's ugly, and that's a fact. Right now." Just me, then? Do not need to think of snakes big enough to eat goats. DO NOT!
In Hebrew, skeptical = suspicious. I don't know, maybe I need another word there, but nothing comes to mind that says in one word "yes, I'm sure that's how you see things, but I need to hear more about it - and from more people, actually".
In my world, suspicion isn't about someone being dishonest. It's about the opportunity to discover a new way to look at things. And that's kinda hot and cool, IMHO.

Nice to know. Maybe I am color blind after all. Don't know and I'm not in the rush of finding out. All I know is that sometimes I can't see the numbers on these tests, and sometimes I see different numbers.

Oh Steph. I'm really, really sorry for this. I didn't mean to cause you anymore frustration, especially with all of what you've been through lately. That's why I asked in the first place if I should reopen the subject. Sorry.
Bicycle Lock or Kinky Cuffs?. You decide.
No, it's cool if other people want to discuss it. When you asked if you should re-open it, I was hoping I would understand it better, but I'm clearly hearing something that (I think) you don't intend to be saying. So it's better if I just step away and chill out.

In English suspicious is totally about somebody being dishonest. "I am suspicious of what you are saying" is an accusation of untruth.
Bicycle Lock or Kinky Cuffs?. You decide.
Gonna have to go with kink on that one because I can't see any way to safely lock up a bike with those things. One end on the bike and the other on the rack just means someone walks away with your front wheel, and trying to wrap them around and interlock the cuffs would need a longer chain.
