It takes me a LOT to get going, no matter what time I get up!

Perhaps a quadruple shot of espresso to start your day.

That's what contributed to my second heart attack.

No worries. I'm assuming that your intent was to be helpful. Am I correct?

Saw the coffee cup in your picture you present representing your chat name . It was automatic , But your asking me about intent , muhahaha ....... ! But actually of course , it was meant to be supportive in Real life. Was / is a coffee drinker in real life .

I chose the image at random, and The Ferret decorated the mug.

But didn't you post your comment before Fnord changed his avatar ? muhahaha :wink:

I believe your intent was to suggest you need coffee coursing through your veins to be productive. I agree with this sentiment.

We have words that have more than one meaning or have words that are spelled the same but sound different depending on how it is used like "read" and "bow" and we have words that are spelled different but sound the same like "red" and "read" and "buy" and "by" and "bye" and "hi" and "high."

Words that sound the same but are spelled differently are called homophones. (Homo = Same, Phone = Sound).

I would never say I'm dumping my child anywhere. To me that sounds like a word for garbage, or something that isn't wanted. I would say I'm "dropping her off" at the place. It must be a cultural thing, like you said. That's too bad the lady got upset because I'm sure it wasn't your intention.

One of my pet peeves is when people say "my kid" instead of "my child" or "my son / daughter". It just sounds very harsh to me. "Kids" is OK when it's plural, but somehow "kid" makes my skin crawl. If someone said they were going to dump their kid somewhere, I'd be flummoxed. I guess to an extent we all have our differences. I'm totally fine with the *c* word and with swearing, but some others find that offensive.

I also learned using female for a woman is incel and apparently women don't refer to themselves as female or their daughters as female but guys.

So I guess I am a guy pretending to be a woman and no wonder people get my gender wrong. :lol:

Really?! Where did you hear that?
I never even knew the word "Incel" until I joined here. I must really be out of the loop.

I'm all for trans-rights but I've never heard this before, especially pertaining to Incel ideology.

I think there’s a stronger tendency among incels to use “female” or particularly “females” as a noun than there is in the generally population, and a corresponding aversion to using “women”, but occasionally using female as an adjective (or even as a noun) isn’t necessarily “proof” that one is an incel or inclined to that way of thinking.

Incels will often go further and say things like “femoid”. They have their own crazy language.

Nope, I am seeing it that way too and I have to be careful to not hit Report this post. It's in a bad spot.

It looks REALLY bad in dark mode, whatever's going on. I hope it's temporary.
