Grumpy old punk. Pinko commie queer. Pronouns are How/Dare.
I literally found out this isn't called the Princess Gate this past summer. I have lived in this city for over 50 years.

I saw Dark Passage for the first time just a couple of weeks ago. I was really impressed by Moorehead.

Such a gorgeous woman too, in every stage of her life.

That man is the living embodiment of the phrase, "he has a punchable face".

That would be Mango.

Fair warning that Duolingo is now full of AI slop and isn't a reliable source any more.

Damn, I need to up my game. Spanish dropped off my regular practice when I ditched Duolingo.

What are you watching?

I read something once where somebody said that they used to think ADHD only impacted boys and that they usually grew out of it as adults.

When what was really happening is that those boys were getting married and their wives were taking over their executive function.

That stuck with me.

A childhood diagnosis should be enough. Do they still think ADHD is something that just goes away?

(Hoser and hosehead were also on the list, but I figure everybody knows about those ones already.)

Goof comes specifically from jail/prison culture and is the worst thing you can call somebody. Implications of child molester. It WILL start a fight.

Buddy can be either affectionate or derogatory. (I call my cat buddy.)

It originated from the guys who hang out at corners in groups with a bottle inside a paper bag who yell at everybody who walks by, "Hey buddy, gotta light?"

It makes absolute sense to me that Bob & Doug and Wayne would be responsible for sharing these with the world.

And yes, skid-mark is exactly the inference. With a dose of "skid row" as well. Scrub might be an American approximation.

A keener is somebody who tries really hard at parent-approved activities. Frequently used for students who study a lot, or who were big on following the rules.

I can't help thinking Scotland would be better off in the EU than in the UK but I'm not on the ground.

Disability in general, I think. Especially if your disability makes you unsightly in some way.
