this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Linguistically, no language is set; it's constantly evolving and morphing to reflect the culture.
Yeah, when I think about it, I'm not exactly beaming with pride that my mother tongue can claim "ginormous."
Fo shizzle.

“Not dead yet!”
As a 1st generation American, with no grandparents who were born here, I realized I just can't process anti-immigrant sentiment at all, legal or not.
Cosigned.
And again.

OTOH, we do things like pay complete strangers nice compliments. There's no reason for doing that, but to make someone feel nice.

Ginormous is a perfectly cromulent word!
Interrupting all the serious immigration talk to say I found a picture of a kitchen on Flickr which is exactly how I want to redo my kitchen: [link]
Still in character with the age of the house, but still modern and clean. I'd have more punches of colour. But I am very excited by this.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
I wish we had some more counterspace, Sue. But I am hugely happy that I have a window (with a sill! I have a plant that I have kept alive for 7 WHOLE MONTHS on it, close to a water source) over the sink.

Our wings are not tired.
Yeah, I am not sure I am comfortable calling another poster unevolved.

Language is fascinating. I wish I could go back and retake my History of the English Language course again, as I am no longer 19, and consistently semi-stoned.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
OTOH, we do things like pay complete strangers nice compliments. There's no reason for doing that, but to make someone feel nice.
And sometimes we see an Indian dude walking out of a bank and say "Namaste," probably to make him feel nice, but instead we totally make him feel weird and Other-tastic. There is no winning!
I've also got the first-generation, no grandparents born here thing going for me. Or against.
