Somehow I find all of this brouhaha a bit amusing... I can appreciate the "alternative" options in this subject matter and will probably bookmark the site. After all, I can be a fine upstanding citizen and mother of two, but I am still a Gen X'er at heart. I will be stitching my formal and "nice" TW's, Mirabilia's, Chatelaine's, etc. That being said, I would not be adverse to considering one or two of these kits myself. I do not mind being a liberal, salty, Gen X'er stitch biotch. That is frankly who I am and I am not ashamed of my true tastes, however varied and off the beaten path they may be. Oh well... make me a Yank American biotch and I won't bat an eyelash. Now commencing NOT to duck from the approaching flames... LOL ~Connie~ |

Thanks much! Lizzie Well, if the cap fits, etc. You must agree though, that bad language is synonymous with service life (I have had and still have a lot of service people in my family too) but it doesn`t have to spill over into the home. I swear like a trooper on occasion - it`s just THAT particular word that really gets my hackles up. Not so much in occasional use, but the constant outpourings of it that you get these days from the mouths of kids, and in films etc. And isn`t it strange that people with Tourette`s syndrome always seems to latch onto that particular word above all others?

Personally I won't bat an eyelash either cause it doesn't change anything in my life, does it? Now if you would please tell me what biotch means? Or did you mean to say bitch? Lucille |

Lucille I had a feeling that wasn't a typo so I researched and answered my own question. For those who care about things like this, heres the definition: 1. biotch 1. (noun) a woman of unsavory character traits pertaining to negative or even beligerant attitude (ie. a pain in the ass or a moody bitch) 2. (noun) a man who's abilities/character/mindset/emotional responses is atypical of that which is generally associated with being a man (ie. acting like a girl, wimp or homosexual) 3. (noun) a non-offensive colloquialism meant to reference to a girl or a woman with whom the speaker is associated in some way Alternate spellings: beyatch biyatch beyotch biyotch Synonyms: biznatch bleyatch bitch pussy wimp boo shorty Yo dawg, that girl aint nothin but a biotch. Yo dawg, why you acting like such a biotch? That's my biotch. I like that word and I'm certain I'll find times and reasons to use it. Lucille |

Lucille We can get them in our local Tescos - I don`t much like them myself - too sweet. Just as well - I bet they`re fattening too! LOL! Still, with the stomach problem I have at the moment I`ve got down to exactly the right weight for my height. Every cloud has a silver lining! Pat P |

Just to clarify...
I did mean "biotch" and was not hungry for a brioche. Just trying to watch the xtra pounds and THAT can turn one into a definite biotch!! lol Besides, bitch is a little overdone now. Biotch gives it a little flavor and sass. ~Connie~ |

Yes, of course, different parts of the world have different expressions and
words that are appropriate 'there' but not 'here.' Fornication Under Command of the King ... well, perhaps we should revert back to the original, eh. LOL I wouldn't apologize to the child ... but would explain that in this country, that is not said. But in other parts of the world, is the F word really ok to say? Especially from a child to an adult?? Gentle as you go, Marny "Lucille" wrote in message ... .... Now having said that--what is your definition of "F*** Off?" Here in the U.S.A. it does mean "Go Away" so technically the kid did nothing wrong and possibly deserved an apology. An explanation of why it wasn't an acceptable way to speak to an adult, but still not incorrect. Now, having given my lecture for today, I'll just quietly go away. Lucille |
