I'd like it if it were accurate. But unless I'm mistaken there's pearls of Fury, DeKnight, Goddard, Smith, Espenson, Minear, Greenberg etc.
Yup. Inspires: "Who said that? ME. Who? ME!"

I'm all for not offending people with a thread title, and I see from subsequent discussion that even though the word has its own Very Special Deathmatch Meaning, that doesn't really make it that much more palatable as a thread title for many. Good enough for me. ETA: And I get it. That sounded like I'm conceding something, and that's not what I mean. I mean, I get it.

ETA: OK, and this - "Who said that? ME. Who? ME!"

I would just like to say that I am very uncomfortable at the thought of taking our wonderfully multicultural board and suddenly declaring it specifically USian, and non-USians who might attach a different meaning to some USian phrase should just suck it up if they find that phrase offensive.
Yes, the majority of our posters are USian, and the Joss shows are distinctly USian, but declaring the board as primarily USian flies in the face of our behavior as a whole to date.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I kinda like Nilly's "Softer Side of eating babies in Istanbul" idea, but I also like the ME idea.

We could deathmatch the several thread title proposals until Elena returned. You know, just so that we wouldn't miss her deathmatches too much. [Edited to note that I was kidding, just in case]
