Up Front: The Up Front Guides:…, in reply to Tom Beard,
I pointed out to her that she tended to look very intently into someone's eyes during conversation, laugh freely at their jokes and constantly touch them lightly on the hands or forearms. All of which is lovely, and quite a normal part of everyday conversation in her culture, but in our dour and less tactile culture she may as well have been wearing a badge saying "I want you now".
Similar between UK men and US women. Telling someone about your divorce and how you had to change therapists and all the rest of it on first meeting might be just yer normal New York Social Interaction, but in a UK pub, you might as well be wearing a sign saying 'fuck me now'.
ETA: not my personal experience, I hasten to add. Friend of a friend...

Ugh. UGH. I have a sudden urge to cut all my hair off so I don't play with it by mistake.
Too late. You touched it in front of the entire town hall. Now that is just brazen.
You could always keep it covered up with a headscarf or something. But then.....if you do that, haven't the terrorists won....?
I'm so confused...... And it's ALL YOUR FAULT! YOU!
Why do you keep sending me these mixed messages? Why?

Can't spin that one...either reading of "tear" is bad.
They're all bad, but that one is certainly the worst. I've heard them all used unironically, although not as pick-up lines.

Why does the action of enquiring if the other person might be interested in a relationship of some kind get described in such violent terms?
I'd tap that.
I'd hit that.
I'd tear that up.Testosterone, eh?

Ed the Happy Clown
An old friend of mine got rather obsessive about that comic back in the day. Somewhat anal, in fact....

if Labour goes back to being all about the men
Meat-eating hetero men, that is. Limp-wristed lettuce-eating nancies would be best just falling under a bus, even if they were born with a penis.

the weird new spur configuration thingy which makes my brain hurt to contemplate.
That would be because the shape now forms the sigil *odegra* in the language of the Black Priesthood, and means 'Hail the Great Beast, Devourer of Worlds'.
