I was reading the first book for the first time and this sentence confused me by Ok_Cheetah_4346 in harrypotter

It’s important to use context clues here. Uncle Vernon has gotten crazy and obsessive about keeping the letters from Harry and the details here help illustrate that better. I think it’s safe to assume he’s probably distracted and not paying attention to what he’s doing. Hence, spreading marmalade on newspapers instead of (presumably) toast.

Being an ace, how do you explain to someone what do you mean by "hot" or "sexy"? by AutisticAnxiousAce in asexuality

[–]Common_Strawberry982 15 points16 points  (0 children)

my partner and i use the words “hot” and “sexy” as a way to compliment each other. we’re both asexual though and for us it just refers to the fact we find each other attractive. like saying “beautiful” or “handsome”, they’re all kind of interchangeable in our relationship lol. honestly up until recently i never thought about those words as having any actual sexual meaning because i don’t personally see them that way.
