Nope, I use it and it is pretty common both here and back in Va.

It's sort of more connected with the queer community here.

Leave it to Texas to be behind the times. I haven't heard of the term until here.

The number isn't important. I think that age is simply a social construct.

The things that I do think are important are having the courtesy to answer a straight forward question with a straight forward answer, and not being a pretentious dick.

Then again.. that's just me.

Wow, holy crap miss A. What the hell?
Are you telling me you always answer all questions in a completely direct 100% accurate fashion?
And damn for once i wasnt even being pretentious just a bit vague. Damn i even answered directly when you restated the question. Seriously what is your defect?

Actually, I practice a thing called radical honesty.. so yes, I try to always answer questions with total accuracy.

Pulling out age is like trying to pull rank. It tends to be done to remind people of their place. The same with the "green fairy" comment. Nicknames are used as terms of endearment for those that we know and respect, or to patronise those that we don't..

We're the same age - the reason that you couldn't understand "totes" has more to do with your inability to use the context of a sentence to discover the meaning of a word.

It's not terribly nice when you get slapped down by a snarky person for no discernible reason, is it?

Yes completely true... Of course i apologised when i realised i was being a petty dick...


As for the age thing i wasnt pulling rank i was lamenting my lack of certainty of modern lingo and expressing it through an easily understood stereotype. Perhaps i should of responded "i am so out of touch" instead as that is more accurate.

Also my green fairy comment was intended only to placate and amuse you. Oh please dear gods do not misconstrue that...

In any case i think we have gotten off on a crappy tangent here as i frequently agree with your viewpoints and opinions.

All that aside... Im still a pretentious dick.
