Wow. That is certainly a fashion statement. And with no socks, too!
How's it sit? Pretty cunning, don'tchya think?

It's one thing to use ableist language when you're unaware, but if you've had your privilege checked and respond by trolling everyone, then you are an asshole.
Exactly!
And glad to hear dork isn't something I'm missing!

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I feel like a lot of those terms fell out of my daily use because they reminded me of how I spoke in middle school rather than for any high-minded reasons on my part. "Retarded" I had to make myself drop, because I clearly recognized the derivation and realized it was uncool.
WRT dork: so it's not just me in feeling only "nerd" and "geek" have been redeemed, "dork" remains an insult?
WRT alternatives for "lame": dud? I use dud a lot to describe things that generally failed to live up to expectation, or desire.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

not your mom's socks.
Buffista parents, does anyone have kids emailing with grandparents yet? HPF emailed my mom (yes, can of worms, but we thought it would make her happy) last Wednesday and got a reply that night. She doesn't email much, and only when she's got stuff to say, so she hasn't replied yet.
My mom emailed her a 'where's your next email' two days later, then sent me a nastygram today. I am not happy. This is horrible.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
What in the HELL, mom of Sox.
I have no advice for either consoling the child or managing the grandmum. Just had to share the what in the HELL.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
It's early but I'm calling NPH and his partner for fug of the night.
Oh dear.
WRT alternatives for "lame": dud? I use dud a lot to describe things that generally failed to live up to expectation, or desire.
Yeah, that's all right.
Not trying to be provocative, but what do you think about hysterical as a word?

Oh good LORD, Sox. No advice (other than to tell your mom to fuck off?) but commiseration.
