[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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

do you pronounce it with an aspirated "t" or the elided palatal "t" used in, for example, "butter?"

Can you give me a pronunciation example of an aspirated "t"? I'd have described it that way, but I think I also pronounce it the same way as the ts in butter. I did have a friend who said I pronounced both ts in "little" so it's possible I just speak funny.

“Not dead yet!”

I think of Nick and Nora, but that wouldn't fly with the younguns, I think.

It might if you mention "Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist."

The status is NOT quo.

I had no idea I'd been pronouncing your name wrong all this time! (OTOH, I'm also not sure I've ever actually said your last name out loud. Huh.)

You aren't! He doesn't use the original Gaelic pronunciation; the family uses the Anglicized version: dal (rhymes with pal) ZELL (rhymes with bell).

Shir, I was pronouncing your name "sheer" and now am trying to fix it. My mouth doesn't want to cooperate.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Shir, I was pronouncing your name "sheer"

As was I. But since she said it sounded like "shit" and I have accidentally typed "Shit" numerous times, maybe I can make it work, except I don't want to associate Shir with shit because she is not!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Not to change the subject, but how long after the sell-by date is it safe to use eggs?

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

Quite a long time, as I recall.

Awwww. Oz has quite the range and enunciation to his whine.

One of my co-workers is leaving. It's very sad. We have good times and funny e-mails!

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

That's just the upper end of his range. There's a whole lower almost talky end too.
