It's a brisk 82 degrees (28C) outside today. So random.

It's a cranky 65F here.

That's not *so* bad.

That reminds me of something tangentially related. Lately, I've been seeing all these posts going around Tumblr, talking about how fall is the most wonderful season, and it's not hot, and you don't sweat, and you can wear scarves and sweaters, and blah, blah, blah.

And I'm always like, "Y'all clearly do not live where I do."

Is it even possible to nurture these things into a place that can feel at least a little less medicinal and frustrating?

 

[desertslave]

Stupidly tired, but can't fall asleep. It's one of those times when I wish I was less educated on certain things. Playing out too many scary scenarios. Shut UP, brain!

Just seen on another haunt: "...would you mind in boxing me? I would love to ask you a few questions."

WHEN did "in box" become a verb meaning, I presume "to send an email?" I'm stunned.

I think it started on FB due to people asking questions publicly that others didn't want to answer publicly. FB's message system's not really an email, so I'm pretty sure "inbox" as a verb (notice that there is no space) just became shorthand for "send a message to my inbox" or something similar. It may not have originated on FB, though, so don't hold me to that. That's just where I first started seeing it.

The one that's started to get on my nerves is "upping." UP IS NOT A VERB!

As the song says, I hate when things are over.

Even when you knew it was coming...

Dessert pudding made of chicken is not good. I've tried it so that you don't ever have to. You're welcome.

(^_^) Welcome back! Sorry to hear it wasn't so good.

I'm sure you're right abiout the likely etymology. That's exactly what I thought when I first saw it. My question was really more about how recently this neologism came into being. I follow a pretty deep and diverse list of people on FB and this was the first time I had seen it. Now, this morning, I saw it again - in the no-space form that you used. Twice in two days suggests that it's now a thing that people do. I'm now curious about how long it's been in use.

I'm pretty sure that "up the ante" - meaning to raise the stakes, as in poker - has been in the lexicon for many years. You must be seeing it in other contexts, though. Care to share how you've seen "upping"used recently?

The taste was ok. Very mild, milky, sweet with a hint of vanilla. The texture however... It was springy and strainy, clung to the plate and spoon and the chicken strings formed lumps in my mouth after the pudding had dissolved. It was a very strange experience. I did finish the whole serving, but after the first two or three spoonfuls I had to swallow it like pills.

There were two local women there who clearly enjoyed the dish a great deal. An acquired taste, maybe.

I wonder how wide my monitor would have to be before certain Lit pages wouldn't be ruined by overly large photos.

And, how is it that someone who has posted hundreds of pictures here isn't aware or doesn't give a shit that many of his photos are so large that they blow up the pages they're on? Is it really so hard to resize a picture now and again?

Master watches CNBC fairly often. It does tend to be used in the same sense as you mentioned...upping the interest rate, upping shares, etc. It's still wrong and it's incredibly irritating. Yes, I have a grammar fetish.

I realized after I posted that you were probably being rhetorical, and I was being overly pedantic.

I've seen it in use for four or five years, I think. It may very well be older than that, though.

Oh, Bunny, you know how pedantic turns me on. Be careful of that power.

Four or five years? Fascinating. I was stunned at seeing it yesterday. My crowd must be overwhelmingly old-fashioned.

Agreed. I propose that we make his word usage a capital crime.

Think about how this crowd uses topping and bottoming.
They are verbs, I know (although bottom is only listed as "bottom out" for its verb forms in OED). They would probably sound quite odd to anyone who has never been exposed. So to speak
And yes, this usually bothers the crap out of me as well, followed closely by omitting the ly when needed. But your post brought bottoming to mind and I have been mulling it over ever since.

Thank you!

I once ordered a hot chocolate in a cafe and they said 'do you want it thick?' I didn't really know what this meant so decided to say yes.....it came hot and viscous, but setting by the minute into a sort of glue that coated the mouth and throat in a vaguely chocolately tasting wallpaper paste type thing. G drank it and professed to like it, I had his coffee. By the end he had to eat the 'drink' with a spoon.

This is how I am imagining your chicken pudding.

Add to that the muscle fibers of the chicken and I think you're pretty close to how the pudding was texturally.

It didn't taste like chicken at all, just milky and sweet, except when some of the fibers formed a ball in your mouth...
