Its weirdness is why I love it. No American teen show could feature a musical love story based around the destruction of the Twin Towers in an episode.

For Americans, Netflix has series 1-6. I am sure that tvmuse.eu will have links though, that will work wherever you are. I have to partly blame Skins for killing my last laptop because I kept getting viruses from not-so-legally streaming shows I had no legal access to. Now I have a good virus protection and can…

Now I feel weird for not being ashamed of watching Skins. I was so excited when I heard they were checking up on past characters instead of a new crop.

I was so excited by SCOTUS's decision to overturn DOMA because this sets up a perfect test case for those married in Massachusetts, New York, etc. who move to other states through the Full Faith and Credit Clause.

Kristen and Dax were very vocal about how they were not going to get married until the right to marry was applied to homosexual couples as well.

Love Garfunkel and Oates.

Well, I have heard the term to directly mean "fluid bonded." As in they trust each other enough to forgo condoms.

This is why we need to legalize prostitution. Then there would be better safeguards in place for the women who need money and are willing to trade sex for it.

My 34 year old sister just went to this. She and a bunch of her other mom friends loaded up the car with gallons of wine and left the kids at home.

OMG My mom and grandmother would both say it exactly like that, too! I assumed this was a little family quirk since everyone else uses "bless your heart." We all use it for my sisters' and cousins kids when they cry, so the sweet connotation will at least survive one more generation in my family.

I am in my early 20s and reacted to the OP because so many Yankees I encounter automatically assume the phrase is only the faux-Christian Southern fuck you. This obnoxious girl from Boston who lived on my floor freshman year on the campus of our very traditionally Southern college mockingly appropriated "bless your…

Well, I guess I need to have a conversation with my mom and grandmother then about why they have been so mean to me over the years.

I am fine with your underlying sentiments, but you are unfairly maligning the phrase "bless your heart." It is not a snide way that Southerners use to convey condescension. Native users sincerely wish the object of the phrase well.

Sad for Vincent that the receding hairline is apparently not all part of Pete's hair and make-up.

I am lucky enough to have inherited lots of hair although the strands are very thin, but since hitting 22 my brush has exponentially become more full of hair after every time I brush. Like I am now wrapping the rubber band around my ponytail almost twice as many times as I did in high school.

You are right. It is a Southern COMMONWEALTH. Just because we did not secede doesn't mean we don't have the same culture. You can't get more southern than mint juleps and the Derby.

I am calling into question the author's true Southern roots since she has fallen into the Yankee belief that "bless your heart" is just thinly veiled contempt. It is not. There are many more nuances to it. The speaker actually cares and empathizes with the recipient of the phrase while acknowledging plight.

You can just call the person a cunnilingus because it is the Latin noun form that refers to the giver. Cunnilingus is not technically a parallel term to fellatio.

Okay, I have to admit that one of the worst nights of my life was from inhaled alcohol. Unbeknownst to me, the good ole boys at Sigma Nu decided to fill the hookah with Everclear instead of water. As an 18 year old freshman, I did not think to question why the hookah was so harsh. However, I hit the hookah hard and…

How is that related to A Clockwork Orange?
