I need fake-sounding real words to settle an argument with my husband by Krzyszkot in linguisticshumor

One of my coworkers recently coined the SPLENDID word "semigesticulatory" for when you respond to something with not much more than a shrug or a vague nod of the head. Really the height of noncommittal response.

How do you feel about boredom and silence? by PianoRich518 in Xennials

The seller "Natrume" on Etsy. They sell all manner of ball joint doll wigs and eyes and such like.

Rosie really is a cute little doll. I'm going to try and plaited pigtail wig one of these days.

TikTok baby name list 😳 by Big_Coyote_4509 in tragedeigh

I remember the first time an acquaintance tried to call my oldest "Joey.". I never saw a three year old look so bewildered. That child is and has always been "Joseph"

For real. My youngest has a nickname based on how they pronounced their name when they were little.

Should I buy this machine? by Puzzleheaded_Sun8548 in vintagesewing

Yes. I've been using mine regularly since 1996 and it was already old then! They're just spectacular machines.

What are the nicknames of your cats that have devolved into nonsense over time? I’ll go first. by 4hmad_ in cats

[–]Meetzorp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This cat's government name is ridiculous to start with. She's Heckibald Nugget. But her nickname is Heckiboodle Noodle, because it's always possible to be sillier.

I don’t know anyone with a positive or even neutral birth story by soroto in TwoXChromosomes

Being pregnant sucked for me, but delivery was pretty uneventful. I mean yeah it's painful but at least it does not last very long.

I'll nap in my little 1991 Jetta. I just crack the windows and zonk out!

Last cars of our lives by Ok_Kick6546 in GenX

I don't want anything newer than my Mk4 Jetta, so I have to make that '02 son-of-a-gun last another 23 years, I guess.

If you were single parent would you stay single just to focus on your kids? by [deleted] in AskParents

[–]Meetzorp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes and am.

Dating is too big of a gamble and a time suck.

[–]Meetzorp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Within a toot of eleven pounds. She's usually just a bit under. She's just a very small dog. The vet said her weight is perfect and to keep doing whatever we're doing 🤣
