That’s our **boffking** – after he starts a thread, he ain’t coming back.

I’m more pissed that the donuts at DD are trucked in from somewhere else and of questionable freshness. ---

According to Wiki “In 2010 both skimmed milk and light cream were added to Original Cool Whip.” Is the OP insisting that the only “real” whipped cream is 100% cream? ---

He’s doing it as an affectation to sound posh. He isn’t just using it because it’s his natural accent–he says weet and Whill Wheaton. ---
