Watch for flounce. I hear they might be contagious.

When you wear that big, hoop skirt style prom dress, remember to not pass
gas or sit down. Either will result in an epic flounce.

Ick. Ick ick. UV would *never* wear a big, hoop-skirted prom dress. (Ick)
She's more the form-fitting, vamp style lady, perhaps in gold lamé or
something in a tasteful leopard print with complementary shooze, of course.

Really? Silly me, I have her visualized as wearing a set of
athletic-gray sweats, with spots of grease from the latest hamburger
traling down the lumpage, and glasses covered with fingerprints.

Fat (f)lame, check. Nerd (f)lame, check. Slob (f)lame, check.

Due to my being at least one-and-a-half of those things (whether I count as a
nerd is a matter of definition), I choose to take umbrage. And I'll be
expecting that there umbrage in the post any day now, so hustle your buns,
mister.

There was some famous woman (I can never recall for sure who it was,
perhaps Eleanor Roosevelt whose name is probably misspelled) who said
something often-quoted (which again I can never recall exactly). The
gist of it was that nobody can put you down except yourself.

UV and boots have been quarrelling of late, over nothing mostly. I
need all the writing practice I can get if there's to be any hope of
moving beyond third-grade level. So when writing posts here, I
indulge my need to learn and improve my writing by writing
melodramatic friction and slappy repartee.

I doubt that UV is really the "fat nerd slob" type, I wrote that as an
exploratory and her answer tells me a bit; it seems more likely to me
that she's the sort who wears blue, feminine, tasteful power suits and
drives a sporty Mercedes to the office where her delicious cheery
smiles are given out to nobility and scathing raised-eyebrow glances
peek out only occasionally when some peon comes in to empty the trash.

I rather prefer the fat nerd slob myself, but taste is no more than
taste.
