Giles ,'Lies My Parents Told Me'
[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.
Everything's classier in Latin.
And on the pets, we used to have a cat who fancied herself a great hunter who'd catch and eat the crickets in my mother's house. She'd throw them up, but I think it was more because of the legs being indigestible - and sticking her in the stomach - than them being bad for her. Whatever, she lived to be 17+.
I had a cat who could leap up and catch a palmetto bug 5 feet up on the wall, then eat it. The suddenly flying cat was startling, but in the South, a good bugger is valuable.
I suddenly want a tat that says "Don't speak Latin in front of the books." In Latin.
If anyone ever grokked that tattoo you'd have to marry them.
I find this kinda unfunny.
What, did you think I was serious?

I don't think the position is open.
I was speaking... figuratively?
I'm a litle ashamed that the instance finally arose when I was not able to think of a beter word than "grok".
I'm only going to mock you if it's in English. Translated, I think it's kinda perfect.
Yeah, I may put a call out on the social media places to see if there's a really good Latin scholar out there. Then comes the fun of deciding placement and fonts!
What, did you think I was serious?
Literally serious? No.
But this whole thing where if someone gets cut off in traffic there is a chorus of wishing them pustules on their ass, I don't think it's funny and makes for an unflattering interpretation of how much we think of other people. And it does always make my skin crawl when I read it.
I'm not going to pick fights over it but I can just calmly say when I don't find these things funny.
Because sometimes we're the ones who unintentionally cut someone off in traffic.

In a lot of places, really.
