I've always thought the opposite. When I got to college and found 18 and 19 year olds still getting stumbling drunk and puking and sleeping with random strangers they seemed so juvenile and socially delayed. Since I'd gotten done with that by the time in was 16 I could actually spend my time at university going to…

I have read that when you have liposuction done, because you actually remove fat cells, if you put on weight again it can go to peculiar spots on your body. If it can't go back to it's fave spot on your hips or thighs, it has to be stored somewhere, so — maybe the elbows?

It is not illegal to tape your own conversations with other people. What you can do with the tape after is a grey area.

Up until a few years ago I associated it with very thin older women (like drug addicts) and also I saw it a lot in Asian women, where one body type variation seems to be a kind of bowing out of the legs so that the knees are also far apart. I saw it as just one of the many variations of the human body, but never as a…

a gig can be a still or a moving image. The original term was animated gif for ones that moved.

Same here. I go to Zumba and the instructor smiles and whoops and says "do whatever works for you" and I work my butt off. The minute someone yells at me or tells me to work harder I feel like "fuck you!" Enough of that in the rest of life. I motivate myself, thanks very much.

WHOA WHAT THE F IS THAT?

I just discovered "hick hop" last week.

There are other ways to consider the value of a life besides its length.

These types of studies frequently get focused around weight because it's what gets the clicks. But really what they're saying is that living in a more natural way (allowing your body to regulate both cold and heat, sleeping regular hours and mostly when it's dark out, eating when you're hungry) helps regulate your…

Discussions about topics like eating and health around here tend to very quickly devolve into the argument that "some" or "many" or "significant numbers" of people have no choice in their lifestyles because of food deserts, poverty, working three jobs, lack of a vehicle to get to a store and an neighbourhood too…

Well, I live in an area with a ton of survival sex workers — from hard core drug users to single moms supplementing a welfare check — and their outfits lean heavily toward the nondescript — sweaters, jeans and sneakers. Whether they can't afford sexy clothes, or this runs them less chance of getting spotted by the…

Same here. I look like those pix of German Shepherds sticking their nose into camera lenses.

I would agree, except even though I do have every color under the sun, about 25% of the time I somehow manage to come home from the store with fresh bottles of almost-the-same-color. Of course the more polish I have, the worse this problem becomes.

I'm afraid you're back in the grey....

Not to mention that learning is also best done when you're young.

Maybe like "shorty" started out meaning kid and became a name for your girlfriend?

They were the originators of the wide waist band style pant that you now get everywhere, so when they came on the market they had a unique style, and it was rumored to make everyone's ass look amazing. I honestly don't think the quality has ever been considered head and shoulders above any other upscale yoga pant, so…

Like so many pop culture words that cycle in and out of style, much depends on how old you are and what point in the cycle it was at when you first encountered it.

Maybe they are trying to subtly evoke the "rub and tug."
