Quote uncoat -- 3

"I am spoken for."

This one makes me want to puke. Can’t you speak for yourself that you have to be spoken for?

Most of you are on the ball and know what it means; it conveys that the person uttering these precious words is in a relationship, so lay off.

I’d say anyone having to utter these words ought not to have anyone even remotely interested.


“I am spoken for..." Yes, idiot-on-autopilot.

And you hear women who claim to be feminists using this execrable phrase. It does not even sound posh.

The other term that makes me want to go aargh is ‘significant other’. Get a life, honey. She or he might be significant to you, not to the rest of the world. And obviously the person is the ‘other’, no one expected you to be conjoined twins. And if you are trying to say that your partner is also significant, then I am not sure I thought you were in the first place. Why the heck are people so presumptuous?

You are in a relationship. Savour it. Don’t flash it around like fake baubles and silicon breasts.

Come to think of it, those could be your significant other…

Dear Blog
Today you have excellent expression!
Significant other,I am spoken for, feminists etc, etc, etc
Terms used by some retards to hide their insecurity. Insecurity can turn them into someones they really aren't.Feminists camouflage their insecurity by calling themselves as the champions of all the women problems. Infact they have the problems, others don't....
And they're the problems. LOL.

I will not generalise. I just find those phrases askew...whether they are used by Rastafarians, Scientologists or feminists, more importantly the last because it goes so against this independence we wish to portray...

I am a feminist too; do you think I am a 'problem'?! (Of course, I do have problems, but who doesn't?)

'Outlook' is the same, no change, still a pain!

Oh, the other change was done without photoshop and all that, so all those SW people, please understand I may not know about fonts as per MS convention and have no clue about Chicago convention, but I can manage to let the colours fly even if I don't always come out with flying colours:)

Ouch Amandeep: "gudhi"? I called myself a cow, now this other animal?! Phew...btw, did you buy the copy?

'Supple' means graceful, easily adaptable...I know, I know, too many changes :-)
