I haven't met your mom, Teppy, but my cousin Buffy (and her wife) has met vwbug and I haven't yet.

And now for a totally different topic -- just so I'm sure I understand the meaning of the term, "code-switching" is using more than one language in the same sentence/conversation, and using the languages such that they're grammatically and syntactically correct?

Like, "I was not avec Trudy and megan when they met my mom" -- is *that* code-switching?

It's still so weird to me that you were in my city while I was here -- and the location you were at was less than 10 minutes from my apartment, but since it was a day I could NOT leave the office under pain of firing, and my office is ~25 minutes away, we couldn't meet up.

That still kills me.

My sister hung out with Alibelle in the UK. She was all pissed because I hadn't told Ali her name. Except she was calling Ali her real name, and I had no idea who she was talking about, since I call Ali Ali to her face too.

I have no fucking idea how I hooked those two up together, if I couldn't introduce them to each other.

My sister has also dated other internet people I've introduced her to, so she's pretty okay with me socialising this way. Pays off for her.

FWIW, never play UNO with me.

Duly noted.

It was your birthday! And you were having lunch with your dad, I think. It was funny.

I think you should love me forever for sending you a gift certificate to Graeters, despite not seeing you that day!!!

I call Alibelle by her real name most times, but in my phone she's still Alibelle (also, she went to the Eclipse premiere.... please to mock her now).

Sara, did I mention that this year we have the entire week of thanksgiving off due to furloughs?

So completely unsurprising. Ah, we tried to raise her so well.

This is what wordnik says, but I've never heard it this way, but rather in the context of shifting appearance -- e.g., if you're gay, acting "straight" in some groups, and more "gay" in others.

I totally do!!!

I really want to get back to San Francisco -- it's been a while since I've been there, damn it. For a while, I made it out there literally once a year. Like, from 2001 to 2007, I think, I visited every year except maybe one.

And I miss it. I miss you guys!

Oh yeah! I knew there was a usage I'd heard that was more behavioral and less strictly linguistic. Hmm. Interesting.
