Not mocking shit, real shit.
I now have this image of Steph's dinner companions handing over actual shit (probably dog). Possibly in a quiltbag.
Man, that's definitely going to put me off my dinner.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
It's important to remember that before Electric Boogaloo the go-to sequel for all joke making was "The Bride of..."
But then came "The Quickening."

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
The Quickening goes rather well with Electric Boogaloo, though.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
But then came "The Quickening."
We must never even acknowledge its existence.
Chick in the washroom was wearing a purple top. I was tempted to walk up behind her and mutter "QUILTBAG" and see if her eyes flashed black.

There was a thing on the Times website (not sure if it was in the actual paper) recently about STEM, for science-technology-engineering-math, as used in education, and how it's stupid. But honestly, it's so much better than SMET, which is what they started with....
For serious.
Then you've now got the BRIC countries. Is there a word for this kind of acronym that makes things easier (or quicker) for people in the know but are probably totally opaque to anyone who doesn't already know what you're talking about?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
It's jargon, but I don't know if there's anything more specific. I love jargon! Although in my first job in NYC, all I could for in meetings for months was write down all of the initials that people were spewing -- it was my first job in New York, in health care, in government funding.

I wore my purple shirt yesterday, unthinkingly. I couldn't wear it two days in a row.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
I am wearing my burgundy shirt today. However, today is tomorrow already, so I'm probably doing it wrong.
