First day back at work, busy as hell. Thankfully I only have 1 day left at this job

I'm sorry to Mikey for taking the piss out of his enthusiasm for iThings.

What is 'taking the piss' in American? I'm forever explaining it in my room.
And I wonder if you lot know what 'taking the mickey' means???

Wanting to read The Faggiest Vampire ever since I saw Frankie mention it on twitter. Now it smacks me in the face everytime I see Frankie post here...hmmm...

Totally worth a read. Quite a small book, but it owns.

 

[RufffRider]

Agreed!

I live by two words, "Fuck you, pay me".

That's the credo for some models. :lol:

we could all walk around with signs that give our by the minute rate to talk to us.. and have some sort of timer.
needs work. i will think about it

I think I'm going to confuse lots of people on MFC/already have. First I changed my username, then I changed my avatar, now I've changed my hair colour and avatar again, eek. I hope I don't lose too many people!

Lily, I dont care what anyone thinks. I got my iPod, I go on a much needed vacation tomorrow and I'm fucking happy.

Oh, and you can use "taking the piss" around me. I watch more BBC TV shows than I watch US TV shows. Most Brit slang does not go over my head.

Full of piss and vinegar is not just a UK thing, but it's rarely used anymore in the states.

"

Meaning

Rowdy, boisterous, full of youthful energy.

Origin

The earliest citation found is from 1938 in John Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath:

Grampa walked up and slapped Tom on the chest, and his eyes grinned with affection and w are ya, Tommy?"
"O.K.," said Tom. "How ya keepin' yaself?"
"Full a piss an' vinegar," said Grampa.

There are other similar phrases that came before that which may be the source.

In 1922 Joyce has this in Ulysses - "All wind and piss like a tanyard cat."

As far back as 1602, in Return from Parnassas - "They are pestilent fellowes, they speake nothing but bodkins, and pisse vinegar."

Those earlier citations appear to indicate a more negative meaning to the phrase. 'Wind and piss', or as it is more often given 'piss and wind' is usually taken to mean empty talk, full of bombast. Vinegar is associated with sourness and acidity in many other citations. Peter B. Kyne's 1922 novel They Also Serve includes what seems to be a straightforward polite alternative to 'piss and vinegar':

"He's full of pep and vinegar and wild for exercise."

Vinegar has been in the language as the name of the familiar liquid since the 12th century. During the 1920s vinegar was used to mean vitality and energy and that's the meaning in 'piss and vinegar' and 'pep and vinegar'. At that time many phrases indicating a general perkiness and vitality entered the language, often for no other reason than linguistic exuberance. It's most likely that the phrase originated around then, possibly as an adaptation of the existing 'vig and vigour', which means much the same.

"taking the piss" sounds too much like "taking a piss"

Frankie was finally on while I was browsing mfc. FINALLY managed to log into my prem account (was adding a _ where there is none....) only to have her go group and log off right after.

I have never heard of this in my life.

 

[LilyPink]

Someone has actually paid over £65 to send me an oil filled radiator from my wishlist. Wow

yes all models should have a wishlist. No you won't get 90% of the crap from it, you will get the random stuff that seems more like a need than a wish/want

 

[pyrite1965]

Monday start my new job. The ladies were sad to see me go

 

[AlexLady]

Starting a day off by giggleing with awesome models is always a good start!

 

[ZoeyMore]

Today my thought is: Why don't people listen to me? If listening to me could save you $300, would you do it? Then why is it so frraking hard for the boy to listen to me when his mom is around!?

 

[pyrite1965]

Yay, replacing the hard drive on my main box. Loads of "fun"...

 

[AlexLady]

Today I worried over a choice that might have to be made. Then I realized that the true choice isn't mine to make; it's just that a decision I made brought the choice into existence.

And I stand by that decision so now I get to wait.




These daily thoughts posts have shown me how much I'm always waiting too.

 

[LadyLuna]

note to self: don't look at AlexLady's avatar when already way too horny to stand... unless I'm already in bed with a dildo...

 

[AluraCurvyBBW]

why did i JUST now see the strap on in alexlady's avatar??


um help apparently i was lookin to hard at the look on her face and the paddles etc behind her lmao

for shames.. im not a perv

 

[Jason314]

There are lots of soccer fans. There are lots of football fans. In those places where they call soccer football, do they have only football fans?

 

[AlexLady]

Haha yeah. I was drunk and took that photo for Amber.

I really like how the strap-on is always the last thing people see. It's my favorite photo of me. But it's way too old to use as an avatar now due to how much my hair has grown out.

I'm glad you guys like it

I'm going to be going into the hospital tomorrow, ridiculously early, for back surgery.
I'll be staying in there for all of that day and possibly a day or two after.

I smell like cupcakes and chocolate syrup. I'm going to start nibbling on myself soon if I don't eat some real food here.
