1·7 days agoPerhaps a lesson in heeding your elders’ word then.
I’ve recently learnt how to pronounce Irish slender consonants after basically years of wondering how to do it.
I mean, you could look it up yourself if you doubt it so.
You’ll be thrilled to learn, then, that there’s only one adjective in that insult.
But the famous thing about learning to ride a bike is that you don’t forget, even after decades. I’ve just looked it up to double-check and all I got was articles about why you never forget. It’s like saying you’ll forget how to walk up stairs or something.
You don’t know the expression, “it’s like riding a bike”?
There’s a fair number of people who insist that “geek” and “nerd” mean two different, specific things. I think this is the same phenomenon, that people seek nuance where there isn’t because it makes the language seem more interesting or something.

It’s just the transition I don’t like!
Reads better than “Tommy needy drinky” anyway.
