Re: A Language Question For The Linguists
I think we're still a little too close to the end of That 70s Show to use "burn" yet, but I do use "face" sometimes. I should use it more, but that would require actually talking to people to the point that I'm proven right in a disagreement.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑24 Aug 2018, 2:31pmYou're both solid citizens.

Re: A Language Question For The Linguists
The Boss was flipping channels and stopped at some bride show long enough for me to hear the phrase "boob mirage." I can kinda guess what that means, but I love the phrase on aesthetic grounds. It's so jarring yet it also flows well.

That would actually be a perfect phrase for drag queens to use when throwing shade.
