I invented the question mark.

Do you have a bald son with a fetish for nehru jackets?

He's at his luge lesson.

That's a rather outrageous claim.

In college I used to use the term "Papaw Democrat" in my political science classes to refer to the type of Dem my mom's father was-- very conservative, but pro-union & stubbornly remained a Democrat.  My profs liked it, but it's a less-relevant term these days, as most Papaw Democrats have either died out or switched over to the GOP.  Still a few here & there, like Joe Manchin & Sam Nunn (possibly Evan Bayh?).

Also when I was really young (2 years old or so) I used to call someone I didn't like a "beenda-beenda", which still perplexes my family.

I guess that's why you changed your name back to Martinus as you are neither gay or a lawyer.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

Isn't it redundant to say "gay" and "mean to people"? :huh:

No.  I think it is morally wrong to coin words.  I refuse to use any new words, phrases or abbreviations for as long as I can.  Languages should be cast in stone. 

HKers are generally very traditional when it comes to language use.  Mainland Chinese on the contrary seem to invent new phrases every day :bleeding:

You know what I've always wondered about Richard Simmons?  I've wondered about his sexual orientation. :)
