You have class coming out of your bottom.

I had to caution a good friend that DTF didn't mean what she thought it meant. She had been posting something on FB about "yay DTF!" of "DTF FTW!" or some such and making some of her friends scratch their heads. Turns out she's a big fan on Din Tai Fung dumplings.

That is so good.

Less dirty, I once got a friend's hopes up when I posted on FB that I was "in the DRC" meaning "Detroit Rock City" (because of reasons), when she was living in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.....

Like "GGG" but with an extra helping of "right now, and it's fucking great," or great fucking, or something. The conversation would only get weirder for dumpling lady if she was like "I like it so much better when they're brown and crunchy. or warm and squishy(I haven't had the dumplings so...)

Hah! I have never heard of "the DRC" meaning Detroit Rock City...but have had similar doubletakes when realizing friends are actually using "the DMV" not to refer to the Department of Motor Vehicles, but the "DC/Maryland/Virginia" area. Which was not common parlance when I lived there.

I took to using that because no one I knew had the least idea of Britishisms. Then a new co-worker turned out to have lived in England for several years. Everyone else was very confused about why she was horrified and I was apologetic.

And yet, in Britain (and Australia) it's quite a mild swear word. For example, this ad aired here in prime time: [link]

Not to mention variants like "well, bugger me", "I'll be buggered" and of course "hurts like buggery".

Well, she was a Mormon in Utah. A different level of swear-acceptance, I imagine, than your standard Brit or Aussie.

I do want to try it (Din Tai Fung that is). I've never been.

Burrell, you should come over some time. The one they opened in Glendale is spendier, but less crowded and still filled with yum.

Ah...I think I've heard that before, but forgot it.

I am a fan of "witenbof" which is short for "what in the entire box of fucks." For when WTF is not WTF-y enough.

LOVE. I'm going to have to remember that one. Although I do like WTFF a lot - what the fucking fuck.

I love the idea of soup dumplings. I've only had them once, but they were delightful. One of these days I will try making them myself - the secret is apparently well-gelatinized broth, which I can certainly do. Something to look forward to when I abandon the low carb diet.

I've reached the point in the day where I've lost all motivation to do anything but flip tables, so I'm filling out paperwork to get a flu shot tomorrow.
