Yes. Lucky for you, people may be in danger.

[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.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
OH GOD I FUCKING HATE "TROOP"

Perhaps we should all write to NPR. It would be a revolution.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I HATE TROOP TOO! Every time they says 'three troops were deployed' I picture 3 groups of soldiers, not three soldiers. I was beginning to think I was crazy and that troop always = soldier.

Yeah, I thought I was just wrong about what I thought troops meant because that's used so universally. Now I can be righteously indignant! So much better.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I didn't even realize about troops. Because we always talk about supporting the troops, and what we really mean is supporting the individual soldiers, so I assumed troop = soldier.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I thought troop had meant a single person for a long time but I just looked it up and found that it comes from an Old French word meaning herd or flock so I'm going to stop using it in the singular sense on principle. A troop is made up of soldiers.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
A troop is made up of soldiers.
Or Boy Scouts.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
"Completely destroyed" irritates me. Destroyed means completely gone. Then there's the misuse of literally. When someone says "it literally killed me," I can only wish that were true.
I got in my truck to go to trivia, but it wouldn't start. I have a battery charger, so I started it, but it ran rough and the lights were very dim, so after about a block, I turned around and went home. I'm afraid the truck is going to give me another expensive Christmas surprise.
