Gosh, well, I don’t think it’s useful to worry about what might have been a slur in 1800’s! That sounds rather excessive — the formal meanings of words change a lot over time, as does the vernacular. Whoever wrote in about the ‘slur’ is kinda over-PC picky, imho. I would describe myself as bohemian (lower case means…

.. and something interesting, perhaps in a glass, to calm the nerves and inspire creative ideas ...

I don’t see why it would be. Where did you hear that, and was there a reason given?

Kinder, küche, kirche, kickin’ butt ... nah, not an improvement ...

I put on my rubber glubs and scrub the stains with an abrasive cleaner. But first, I pour a bucket of water into the toilet so that it flushes (water level goes down but does not fill up again).

“Breastfeeding in public has always been a controversial subject” — please finish your phrase correctly!

Just watched it — in a way, it was as if she’s subtly schooling him in the art of being interviewed, for his benefit, as if she’d maybe like him to win the nomination.

I think you’re right on the money with “complicated” — the whole issue is ravelled up in social class and being a woman and modern, hyper-flavored “food” that can have particularly bad effects on your brain, and other neurological difficulties that come with hormone disruptions due to either starvation or overeating.…

Yes, me too. It's kind of subversive to not subscribe to the theory that 'if you want to be beautiful, you have to suffer.' Which is bunk, really, because it excludes the corollary 'but don't show that you're suffering, or you won't look beautiful!' Subversive b/c it implies, 'who says I should even want to be…
