I'd accuse you of showing off, but you spelt synecdoche wrong.
Once again incompetence prevents me from being a show off.
This is so nice. Having everyone together for my birthday. Of course, you could smash in all my toes with a hammer and it will still be the bestest Buffy Birthday Bash in a big long while.

[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.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
I also like "skein" to refer to a series--as it works off a yarn being a story.
This one I like. Reminds me of "so many issues I need a magazine rack" or "I don't have issues I have a subscription" sorta usage.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
This delightful conversation has certainly effected a positive change in my affect tonight.
I like having a term that means to leave a job without specifying "quit" or "fired". I'm not as sure I like that the term is "ankle".

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
All those posts, I should have known it had to do with grammar.
I am at the car dealership waiting for my car to be inspected. I tragically forgot to bring a book; it's a good thing I always have the internet with me.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
When business speak goes wrong: a colleague just informed a whole group of senior leadership that he called me about a big project and I "walked him right off a ledge".

So sort of halfway between "walked" and "booted"? I'm with you - I like the idea but I don't think I'm down with the term.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
"walked him right off a ledge".
At least you didn't ankle him off a ledge. Or boot him off a ledge....

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
Heh...almost hesitate to post this, given where it'll lead and all that, but a good rule is that "lay" applies to inanimate objects.

Its/it's annoys me. It's should be correct for both because 's is the possessive all the rest of the damn time. I don't know why we have its at all.
