I'll talk to my dress ladies about it. I want to wear heels for as long as I can bear it and then change when I can't any more.

Tartle: Scottish – The act of hesitating while introducing someone because you’ve forgotten their name.

My children are lucky to be alive today. Not a good listening day and they're gnawing on my last, raw nerve.

Let me distract you then, Cash, by noting that San Francisco is having a roller derby Halloween event called Trick or Beat Down.

I want to learn how to pronounce it so I can use it.

If that ever made it into fanfic usage--oh, can you imagine the abuse?

Of course, I never want to believe any of those lists, but some of the words are popularly untranslatable.

“the wordless, yet meaningful look shared by two people who both desire to initiate something but are both reluctant to start”
