Perpetuation, sir, is a sin unto itself.
I use Dems and Pubs because I’m too lazy to type out Democrats and Republicans over and over. It takes too long and everyone will know what I mean anyway. Those are names, just like Vincenzo, so they should be acceptable, no?
As for “kitty” and “belly,” those are both words I use when talking to or about my cats. I really don’t give a rat’s ass who objects to it. I’m not going to start calling my cats’ bellies their lower abdominal area. :rolleyes:
I’m all for “kitties” and “bellies” but my friend needs to stop calling vaginas “hoo hoos” and underwear “plunders”.
Herein lies my problem. What should I call the man I live with and have been with for years, but we are not married? I dislike calling him my ‘boyfriend’ but I detest saying ‘significant other.’ I’m not willing to call him my ‘lover’ in casual company.
What should I use?
The only thing you can really do is just call him by his name. Nothing much left.
So you mean words like “gonna?”
The hell clause clearly states that hell is reserved for those who believe in it;
the lowest circle of hell being reserved for those who believe they’ll go there if they don’t believe in it
All sins have been rendered null and void, enjoy your holliday.
Alma: Tough call! I tend to use the word ‘lover’ when dealing with people who I’m cool with, but I could understand how you wouldn’t want to introduce him like that to your boss… likewise for calling him your ‘man’. ‘Partner’ is generic enough, but it sounds… sterile.
Maybe Harimad-sol is right and you should just say “this is -insert name-”?
Just wanted an excuse to post using the word perpetuation, if it’s really a word. At least I’ve found the thing that will keep me up wondering tonight. Now that my sins have been nullified, must go out and commit some more. 
You’re supposed to pronounce it “Lov-ahh,” though, and throw in a knowing grimace.
And of course I’m right. The sooner everyone realizes this, the happier we’ll all be.
As a Cali native [So Cali even] [yes, I grimaced when typing both of those] I hope the OP never has a run-in with ‘Dub See’
Who said it bothered me? It seems rather odd that hearing another person use the word buttmunch would rock your world, but hey - whatever floats your boat. This isn’t some sort of veiled anger at me is it? Because I was just kidding around, so I hope you didn’t get your panties all in a bunch or anything about that.
Sure, if that makes you happy, go for it.
Exactly.
For me it’s not that the proper technical words make me all embarrassed or “ungrownup” or something, I just find them aesthetically displeasing. But I find other words that have nothing to do with bodily functions and sex aesthetically displeasing as well, and I almost always try to use a better sounding word.
For instance the word “garbage”, nothing embarrassing or bodily about it, it’s just an ugly word, I use trash instead, which is only slightly better. I wish I could get away with using the Yorkshire version of dust bin.
I do use the word tummy, but to describe as stately sort of described, someone who might have a bit of a tummy as in too chubby, it just sounds less harsh and mean. But when talking of the organ, the stomach, I use the “proper” word.
It’s just the way my “ear” works I guess. At 45 years old, I’m certainly not being cutsie.
Wow. I only just now realized that “tummy” was a shortening of the word “stomach.” Who knew?
Holy crap! Me too! How 'bout that?
It was the skill and humor with which it was used that I was applauding.
When I’m angry and/or panty-bunched, you’ll know, my good friend.
Gah! We have a neighbor who says “pretty” when talking about her dog’s vagina. Not a usual topic, mind you, but pretty annoying.
Luckily enough I just started eating lunch…
that is just so disturbing on so many levels.
(and y’all are ruining the word pretty for me! The next time I hear someone say something is pretty…)
Guess where the dog got an infection while boarded in a kennel?
Jai ma Cali, jai ma Cali!
This reminds me of the groupies’ dialogue in 200 Motels:
Chorus: Your dick!
Your dork!
Your prick!
Your pork!
Janet: Your pork?
Lucy: Who calls it a pork? These men, and the stuff they call a wee-wee!
Mark & Howard: A weee-weeeee?!?!
Rance Muhammitz: You mean a penis, don’t you?
Lucy: A penis?
Janet: Penis is such an ugly word.
Rance Muhammitz: It’s not that ugly, really.
Howard: Sure, I use it all the time.
Mark: Sure, sure, we all say it every once in a while. Listen: PENIS.
Janet: Ewww, it sounds so revolting the way you guys say it. Ew, caca. Caca!
Rance Muhammitz: The penis can be a very useful organ.
Howard: Yeah, and very exciting, too, once you get to know me.
Lucy: It sounds so overwhelmingly medicinal.
Janet: A penis sounds like something a doctor would have hanging off of him.
Lucy: None of the men I know and love in the rock & roll business got “penises.” They all got cocks, or dicks at least.
Janet: Sure, you want to go strap on a pop star, and he wants to stick a penis up you. Where’s that at?
There is only one word that irritates the everlovin hell out of me when it’s shortened. My name.
For some reason, my dumb shit ex sister in law thinks it’s cute to shorten it. I hate her guts anyway but when the bitch calls me SHE instead of SHEILA I just want to punch her in the fucking mouth! :mad: I told her to stop saying my name if she was too stupid to add the LA at the end. That was about 2 years ago… She hasn’t spoken to me since
