[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.

Man, that just sounds bad. You shouldn't use that word.

That does require a very precise enunciation.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I wanted to say that it's nice (as much as that's totally the wrong word) to be reminded that I'm not alone with that kind of can't-cope-with-life stuff.
It's nice, for me, to have someplace I can talk about this stuff without feeling like I'm being pitied or judged or found, y'know, crazy. It's a relief to talk about it like it's normal - 'cause for me it is.
Speaking of coping, right now I'm trying to figure if I have enough money in the budget to hire someone for a couple months to help with some of the more routine aspects of my job. In June I was handed the responsibilities of another editor, giving me essentially two full-time jobs. No increase in pay, of course, just a 200% increase in work, with no flexibility on the original deadlines, and I'm starting to crack a little. My employer doesn't care if some of the work is "outsourced" as long as they don't know about it. So now I'm battling another *should*.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Toni Morrison is at a cocktail party at Princeton with her colleagues, English professors and other visiting novelists. She uses the word "niggardly" in conversation. Is this okay because:
It would certainly give me pause, but I'll go with E.
E) She's a novelist and black and it is presumed she both knows how to use the word and that she's sensitive to how it might be misconstrued.
Given that she is a member of the group which might be directly offended, her race and the possibility of reclamation of the word is a factor.
Would I use that word in front of Toni Fucking Morrison?
Hell to the naw.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Because when I hear someone use "gay" to describe anything other than a gay person
Even rumba sleeves?
Would I use that word in front of Toni Fucking Morrison?
Me neither. But I'm also pretty sure she'd argue that the word didn't need to be reclaimed. That it's all cromulent and shit.
Heh. When you do an image search on "pusillaminous" the first thing that comes up is the Cowardly Lion.
