gosh, am I a dope. I had to look up on a google. search what "lady lumps" were... What a dumb sounding term! That's what I get for only listening to old songs and watching mostly old movies I guess...

What, is saying woman's "breasts" now politically incorrect these days? Sigh... Though other words that are perhaps a bit more old fashioned (Victorian, Edwardian, Art Deco era and Golden Era?) perhaps just sound much nicer; such as bosom, or bust and of course the charming sounding French word décolletage for showing cleavage...

"Baby bump" is bad ... but there's one phrase (from an awful song by 'Fergie') that really makes me queasy: "lady lumps". It's evil to use the word "lump" to describe something beautiful.

HA! Love it PADDY, I think I need to watch Colin Firth in P&P again and swoon over him...

As a lady here that finds it charming to see the word swoon used by us women, and use it on occasion myself in reference to well dressed or well hatted males on FL...

swoon intransitive verb 1a: FAINT b: to become enraptured (swooning with joy)

Its least used being used in its proper meaning-not as some trash-talk term. There are a lot of worse words that a man could be called when looking dapper and attractive than to be called swoonworthy or a called reaction such as *swoon* !

Come on gents, recognize and accept graciously a genuine compliment when you see it.

By the way Sir Paddy, Marc, and CB, and Jamespowers, - you four gentleman are swoonworthy

Tis fine by me and if it afflicts your virtue well Sir, then I trust you hold the strength and candour to turn the other way.

Yours,

Mr D'Arcy, Esq.

swoon intransitive verb 1a: FAINT b: to become enraptured (swooning with joy)

Yes I agree


but for me it's more like : SWIM- SWAM- SWOON


to end up with SWANLAKE ...... it's just that that association is inevitable for me [huh] but i see your point chanteuseCarey!

 

[Dr Doran]

Whilst an undergrad at Berkeley, I took a "proseminar" from a British woman on Roman Africa. And the entire semester she pronounced it "Roman Africker." AGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

 

[Dr Doran]

To make it worse, she had a very mild speech defect, like a lisp:

SPEECH DEFECT PLUS "AFRICKER" PRONUNCIATION OF THE WORD AFRICA: ABSOLUTELY ABOMINABLE.

I kept wondering if I should wear earplugs as a sanity-guard.

Now she's as Oxford where she can mispronounce Africa all she wants.

 

[Dr Doran]

Sorry, not "Oxford" but "Oxf'd" or "Oxfuhd."

 

[chanteuseCarey]

Doran, its a good thing I don't talk funny, or you'd have kicked my tuxedoed arse out of your Halloween Party in short order, Sir!
