Setting your cap is to fall in lurve and start flirting with them so they know you're into them.

"Lady friend"

term used by:
1) people who are in their 80's
2) betenoire

CherryFemme · 06-19-2011, 12:44 AM

When a was very young, I used to refer to myself as a "sexual invert" because that was what people in my rural town called me "like me" back then.

I used it about half a dozen times after I moved to San Francisco, but no one knew what the Sam Hill I was talking about, so I stopped.

Yes, Dorthy, I really am 63 in many, many ways.

"Straighten up!"
My Dad said this to me a lot!

He also said, in the same tone, "Here now!"

From an older friend of mine...."Hotter than 9 hells!" (which it is right now)

Ms. Meander · 06-16-2011, 05:28 PM

Reading your posts is great fun! I use some of these words and phrases regularly. I've learned some others here that I intend to incorporate. Today, I caught myself saying that I am "keen on" something.

One more:

Trollop - (noun)
1. an immoral or promiscuous woman, especially a prostitute.
2. an untidy or slovenly woman; slattern.

*That Ms. Meander is a trollop but we love her anyway.
(Ms. Meander is not actually a prostitute)

Ms. Meander · 06-16-2011, 09:43 PM

It's been a long, trying day and I feel "rode hard and put away wet".
