That was my feeling as well, but at least the patootie one is US slang.

Ooh, so apparently these are in Green’s Dictionary of Slang! And although they are mostly British, the dictionary is not limited to UK English. And it’s got quotes! The one for kicky-wicky is Shakespeare, love it!

They’re adorable, though. That part is true.

Well, it’s got lots of vitamin D.

We moved to the arsehole of France, so my wife just orders a monthly delivery of Chinese products straight from China, these days.
That’s not even considered spicy. That’s just basic flavouring.
That’s a starving Chinese elephant from Yunnan, so… maybe?
I remember self checkout arriving in 2008 when I was living in the arse-end of Ireland. Took quite a few years for it to arrive anywhere in France, I guess because we could clearly see it was gonna kill more jobs… anyway, they didn’t take over but for little old me who is used to it, it’s a godsend when I’m faced with families doing their weekly shopping or, worse, pensioners…
And yet, somehow, after all these years, I regularly meet people who indeed seem to have never faced one. No hate on them, I just find it amazing! And I always wonder what suddenly pushed them over, made them decide “today is the day I face my fear and confront the Beast!”

We absolutely are. One nice thing about France is nobody really thinks it’s weird being naked at home, haha! I’m glad my kids still feel comfy enough in their bodies to walk around commando, it’ll change soon enough. But at least they aren’t already traumatised by a prudish family like I was.
That’s hilarious, I never thought how it looks. I used to do it every day during the summer, coming back from work in Wuhan. I’d just pass the door, drop it all and run into the shower. Had to stop when the mother in law came to live with us, haha!
Same. Even though it’s generally consider myself a metalhead, I also love some rap, some techno, some classic… I love plenty of music! “Favourite” is an idiotic concept to me. My heart has plenty of room for all my music. Love isn’t a zero-sum game!
Wait. How come she’s still alive?
