When my brother came home from Iraq and Afghanistan he would have this distinct pattern of speech where the word "fuck" was just inserted all over the place. It's called "fuck patois" and it was oddly lyrical. The great example Steven Pinker gives is of a soldier saying:

I finally googled "lulu". Urban dictionary said it means: "a noun meaning interesting or funny internet content." Dear god, this is a thing now? There are roving bands of teenagers lulzing? Oh the humanity. It's bad enough when my little sister randomly Vines or Snapchats during an in-person conversation or people,

I love restaurant stories (retail stories too) because servers and bartenders seem to see a real cross-section of humanity at it's most basic and most honest: eating/drinking and paying for it.... I spent an inordinate amount of time reading about waitstaff and the Sunday crowd at that Sundays are the Worst website.

Was that you?! I never got a chance to thank you so... thank you. Also, you may or may not be a sex criminal, there's a pending sexual investigation.

Liquor + bong hits can knock you out. And I for two have also mixed the two and gone from amarous to ill and than passed out. Your scenario matches my read on the facts.

Okay I clearly replied to the wrong post by accident. So, that last one was WAAAAY out of context. My bad. Damn the new kinja.

I don't know what is wrong with me but I can't say pussy without making the liquor face or giggling. I can say cunt, no problem but pussy is somehow like the only word I can't say without some sort of face. Wait, not true, I can call someone a pussy but not talk about my own... I'm such a pussy.

It's like how when conservatives tried and failed to have their own version of The Daily Show they failed miserably because they aren't funny. Here they seemed to be going for some smart-ass irony or meta statement but when you're whole POV isn't grounded in reality, your attempts to skew it just come off unhinged and

As a child I don't think they could stick a 17-year old with a bill since she's not legally an adult... not sure how it would work just guessing. also, I get medicare and medicaid mixed up. No matter how much I try, they get muddled. But since she's pregnant, likely been getting prenatal care so.... who knows, it's

Offer to bring her to talk with a dermatologis. My mom did and I'm glad because I'd been popping zits without realizing that that could lead to scarring down the road. You could also use the opportunity to talk about wearing sun screen to prevent premature aging and skin cancer down the line. My dad has really bad

Even though ambulances are super expensive for those without insurance etc. My thinking is that wouldn't a pregnant teenager likely be covered by medicaid?

Where would one find a shaker of MSG?

That is just such a fabulous saying: it manages to be both witty and deliciously off-putting at the same time. Also, I agree with the rest of your comment

I had a judge give me crap. I was wearing a high necked NICE cashmere sweater, black trouser pants, nice leather flats, and nice jewelry. I chose not to wear a suit because I am young and don't have the money to get a custom fitted suit and I am short, thin, but with really big boobs. This makes it hard for me to wear

I came here looking for other people like me feeling like this so NO: you are not alone. Shit drives me crazy. I mean over and over, one more little lie, one more cover-up... and then once again. These people are straight up immoral assholes. Nothing but covering up ever gets done and I find Mellie to be the strongest

Otherwise known as the single stall locking bathrooms in public places and at work. Everybody knows why you seek out these bathrooms... it's essentially a poop box.

I use dude as an equal opportunity moniker but I should have called you Dudette because you do have Woman in your name... my bad.

Yeah there's no possible way they won't say one thing and do a completely other thing secretly. Not saying the official line isn't "no pledging" but I would bet a hell of a lot of money that individual chapters will just pledge underground.

Dude criminal law is not on your side in this argument. There are two requirements for any criminal act: actus rea and mens rea (guilty act and guilty mind). You need BOTH a criminal act AND the requisite state of mind. There are all sorts of gradations of criminal intent.

TIES! Long ties. Doctor's lean over patients, surfaces etc. and ties brush up against all sorts of things and go from room to room plus I've noticed some have a habit of running their hands down their tie to smooth it/tuck it in. Just saying, bowties are the way to go in the medical profession!
