Perfume does not mask smoke.

One does not cancel the other out. Now instead of just smelling like smoke you smell like smoke and mediocre perfume. If you are the kind of smoker that only smokes outside you probably only need to vigorously wash your hands after a smoke anyway. If you smoke in your car and home you’re going to bother the people…

^^ what you just described? THAT makes one a perfume drencher.

Becky is a .catchall name for White girls, ‘cause Rebecca’s a popular name for white girls. That’s the gist of it.

Not necessarily stuck-up, though she might be, but “stupid” is strongly implied. And like not just white, but really white.

Fun fact: This is why some of the groups I support provide service dogs to airlines and airports, and why we’re pushing for better certification and coverage for service dogs. They are amazing help for autistic kids.

Airports are a particular nightmare for people on the autism spectrum, like Boyle. One of my dear friends is a brilliant academic who’s got some serious Asperger’s; airports are a special kind of hell for her.
