    Vagina is Latin for "sheath."

    Yup, I have a liberal arts education. Never made much money, but I can kick your ass at Trivial Pursuit.

    And what is the "L" word? ???

    "I think you're a great guy, but..."

    Once I glazed over at that point, nodded a lot and focused on the TV in the distance for about 30 seconds before blurting out, "Are we done here? I tuned you out after 'I think you're a great guy.' I'll take that look to mean we are. Have a good evening."

    Damn, I say "no worries" all the time. But I did once live in Australia, so I come by the affectation honestly.

    I hate the word "indeed" in print. It's a word that no one says. Thus, it should be a word that no one writes.

    Indeed, "indeed" should be allowed to die a dignified, invisible death.

    Jones, aren't you supposed to be drunk? How'd that whole thing go anyway?

    Went well. I'm not drunk anymore, but my stool is still soft and occasionally bloody. Can't wait for Friday in Toronto!

    The question you need to be asking is, What the hell die joe do to that hotel room?

    For the record, I say indeed all the goddamn time.

    Blame my ex-boyfriend. I do.

    I use the word "indeed" all the time in conversation. I love that word. And you complain that no one says it, it shouldn't be written and then throw "thus" in there? Talk about a word never spoken!

    Pee and poop. Fuck that. It's piss and shit. Maybe crap. Poop sounds so juvenile.

    I, too, despise the word nougat.

    Also not a fan of "I need to get myself straightened out before I can make a relationship work."
