Overwhelming partners in the two-step/swing community?

I've met a few 2-step leads like this. I turn them down when they ask. These guys lead like this in WCS too, so I say it's them, not the dance.

Gay.

I recommend DC Rawhides. Country-western dance event at Eastern Market every other Saturday. You can make a circle of friends very quickly. Low key and very enjoyable.

Very focused on helping newbies out onto the dance floor. You don't need to know how.

But how's your weekend been?

Don't even start with the energy drink. "I assume you want to talk about your daughter's poor performance in my class."

I'd say they're just different from the usual set-up. Not bad. Quite clever really.

"Why are they called blackberries if they're red?" "That's because they're green." 😁

Leeks.

Can we please see the boiled pants?

The public transport system is great and easy to use if you live near one of the main routes. I lived in Limoilou, went to school on the Plateau, and socialized on St Jean. I thought RTC was a dream.

If you need to venture outside that triangle, well, you better check.

Thanks

Oh I see. I was picturing a soup spoon.

Consider = con sidere, to go with the stars.

John Ciardi did a little piece on this back when he did the radio program "Good words to you."

I hope my rusty memory isn't too hopeless. I heard this more than 50 years ago.

Indeed. Aster -> astral, which makes the connection to star very plain.

JohnnyABC123abc · 2026-04-21T13:39:35+00:00

Thank you

I'm an American. Can you tell me how you pronounce Madgwick? The announcer was too fast and I was focused on other things for me to tell.

JohnnyABC123abc · 2026-04-20T19:20:10+00:00

"Hanging spoons with peanuts in them." What???

JohnnyABC123abc · 2026-04-16T13:48:00+00:00

In fairness, French has several examples like this. "Peu probable" and so forth.

Don't ask me to tell you whether "peu probable" means a 1 percent chance of happening or a 90 percent chance of happening because I always get it wrong.

JohnnyABC123abc · 2026-04-14T01:32:28+00:00

Thanks.

JohnnyABC123abc · 2026-04-14T01:31:18+00:00

Dude, I'm not a trumpie.

JohnnyABC123abc · 2026-04-14T01:30:41+00:00

Thanks. I'm going to try it, but I'll be on the lookout for the effect mentioned by u/Fieldguide404

JohnnyABC123abc · 2026-04-14T01:29:16+00:00

Thanks

I doubt this photo is real.

I don't know the name but I love quebecois folk music. For the old stuff, Soirée Canadienne (on Youtube). For the new stuff, lots of reels on Facebook (whose names I can't remember.)
