This seems to be a new Doper catch phrase. Can someone bring me up to date? I can’t find it’s origin. Thank you in advance.
oh, well, if you didn’t get the news letter from the secret society, then I can’t tell you.
Sorry.
I’ve said too much already.
::looks at Kricket, touches his nose and winks::
Aww, fond memories. My partner in grime (read: we were archaeology majors together and bestest friends) and that was one of our cute little in joke thingies.
And the pinky shake. But if I tell you about that, I’d have to kill you.
Its a great heart warming type of thing… um… its korean.
Unless Rasa is serious: Thanks a lot, guys. [Rilch goes to corner to sulk, taking her Peeps along for comfort]
Are you serious, Rasa? If so, I still don’t get it!
yes, very heartwarming and moving. It is compelling how truthfull you feel.
Oh, come on, people…Just tell me!
{Rilch approaches altar, kneels and spreads out offering of Peeps]
you had me untill the Peeps part…
touches he nose honest, no sarcasm.
Must not give in to peeps!
Hi, **Rilchiam **! I think this comes from ME (of all people) and Astrogirl (Nee: Astrofiancee)…
I am a big, fat whitey from the states; and she is Korean… both of us are pranksters to a high degree!
We discovered, early on in our relationship, that we needed some way to tell when the other person was serious (given the cultural differences, we initially had a hard time with who was joking when…)
Astrogirl(Nee: Astrofiancee)… found a solution: if you touch your nose, you cannot be fibbing…
Thereby leading to the humiliating vision of me, touching my nose while discussing various topics with you-know-who all over Seoul! [sup]part of me wishes that we had never reached this agreement, but there it is![/sup]
touching my nose
So: “touch your nose” and various incarnations of that phrase mean “be serious! You cannot lie now!”
[sup]Astroboy is humiliated… but what else is new?[/sup]
'Night all!
Oh come on Astro. You know its adorable. Thats why people adopted it… hehe
Oh, is that all! Thank you, Astro; thank you. Accept these Peeps as a small token of my gratitude.
Peeps! I love Peeps!
