Hello, peeps! What a busy couple of weeks I’ve had. First of all, mucho thankies for all the wonderful e-mails. I’m just sorry that I have to have that Katie woman answer them for me, but honestly, what’s the good in having flunkies if you don’t make them slave for you?
Today I have just one question I’m going to answer (because it’s such a good one). The Q is from Sigourney, who wrote me a really fabu note, and then asked: "When Aidan asked you if you were his bird or not what did he mean by bird?"
English slang is the coolest stuff, don’t you think? Where guys in the States say chick, guys in England say bird. So what Aidan was really asking was whether or not I was his GF, which, of course, I was at that time (because I didn’t know about the whole poophead thing).
What I think is totally unfair is that there isn’t a really cool girl name for guys. Yeah, yeah, there’s hottie, but that’s had so much mileage on it, don’tcha think? I say it’s about time we invent a new uber-coolio guy name for girls. Um. For girls to call guys, not for people to call girls, because who wants to be called guy names? Moving on…I nominate Snogman as an official cool girl name for guys. You can use it as a noun (Hoobah, look at the snogman!), or an adverb ( He is so totally snogmanly, my tongue swelled up and stuck to the roof of my mouth!), or even and adjective (I was walking down the street, and this snogmanish hunka-hunka gave me a look that positively screamed "OH, BAYBEE!").
See? It’s an all-purpose word, and it has the added benny of being fun to say. Go on, say it. Snogman. Say it five times fast. Snogman, snogman, sgonman, sgmnonman, asgoame… um… anyhoo, it’s a good word. You’ll just have to trust me on this.
If you have any other suggestions, you can e-mail ’em to me at emily@katiemaxwell.com, although I should warn you that probably Katie will answer, because as I said earlier, she’s a flunky and all, and she gets really upitty if I don’t keep her in line with the grunt work.
Ta ra until later!
