Spike's Bitches 49: As usual, I'm here to help you, and I... are you naked under there?
Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Our wings are not tired.
She deleted, but her post in Press is still there. Mystery.
Come back beekaytee!

I'm afraid my anxiety meds are losing their oomph. Or maybe a long cold winter with health stress is just dragging on me. It'll be lighter when I leave work soon, and creeping warmer(ish). I wonder if SAD is something you can acquire.

Question -- is the phrase "Tipping is not a city in China" (referring to tipping a server in a restaurant) offensive/culturally insensitive? It is currently a matter of debate amongst some friends. I have an opinion, but am trying to ask the question in a neutral manner.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Sort of like "denial isn't just a river in Egypt"? Only there's not a near-miss homophone, which makes it pretty "ching-chong-ding-dong" in my book, and best avoided.
Like, if you're gonna make a pun, make an actual pun. But it should be based on a real word, English or not.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
I solicited Biyi's opinion on this question. She doesn't find it offensive, but did raise a bit of an eyebrow at it. (For what it's worth, both 'ti' and 'ping' are valid syllables in Mandarin, but I don't think there's even any word in Chinese that combines them.)

I've never heard that phrase before, but if there isn't a Tipping, China, I'm going lean on "sounds racist and even if it's not there's a better way to say whatever it is you're trying to get across"

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Yeah, sure it could be worse, but if you have to stop and think about it, probably best not to say it.

This is my theory.
