My fireman is pretty pragmatic, not much given to flights of fancy.
Yesterday, he was helping my clean up my glass studio. As any obsessive/compulsive worth her salt will tell you compulsive doesn’t necessarily mean neat.
It does mean DON’T MOVE MY STUFF!
After yelling more colorful versions of that sentence several timesat him, he called me, Sloppetty =sloppy/petty. he only thinks its messy. I know where everything is, if he’d just leave it alone.
Just wanted to share.
I’m sure you’re not sloppetty at all. You know where everything goes. It’s a severely misunderstood style, that’s all. Just tell him to go chillax*.
*A combination of “chill out” and “relax”, courtesy of my 16 year old daughter.
I call it filing stuff in reverse-chronological order. (Just look at my garage for a perfect example.)
I LIKE it! I’ll use it, thanks

Don’t be so self-righteous. You look pretty damn sloppetty to me.
Mind you my eyes aren’t what they used to be.
quiet down, you bunch of feppytweeds! (feppytweed-n. an absurd, silly or crazy person)
I call it “a pile for everything, and everything in its pile.”
Well, that word is pretty near original. Googling it turned it up in only one example, and that was in “google groups”, not the web!

BTW, you’re one of my favorite dopers, piccy. But the first law of aloof narcissistic detachment is “stay out of popularity contests!” 
Thank You! I have to tell you, one day my husband thought I was nuts. I told him I had just gotten the best compliment ever. He asked what it was and I told him Qadgop the Mercotan just posted “What picunurse said.” I have to say, I was quite flattered. 
BTW, I’m over my little pet. I never could hold on to a good snit. 
That would be a snitlet then.
You probably just don’t have the right tongs.
Or as a guy I work with says, “A place for everything, and everything all over the place.”
I once made love to a woman who faked it.
She had a pseudorgasm.
