@indigopersei is the french language just always on the verge of getting someone accused of assault or..?
my friend, if only you knew
It’s a very dangerous language to learn
Here’s an interesting thing about French! Everything needs to have an article in front of it. That’s why it’s “la chat” as opposed to just “chat”. So, for instance, you could say la fille for the girl, or jeune fille for young girl, but you can’t just say fille, because that means you are calling her a sex worker in a derogatory way.
The moral of the story is, if you want to make something rude in French, just take out the article in front of it. Yes, this works for nearly. every. word.
Every year. Every year there’s that kid who forgets that you can’t translate “I am excited” to “Je suis excitée”. And every year Monsieur Jordan has to slam the brakes before that kid can finish his sentence and then tactfully ask him not to announce to the class that he is horny.
“is the french language always on the verge” oh buddy, oh pal, i am so happy to break this news to you:

“Samuel Vimes distrusted the kind of person who’d take one look at another man and say in a lordly voice to his companion, “Ah, my dear sir, I can tell you nothing except that he is a left-handed stonemason who has spent some years in the merchant navy and has recently fallen on hard times,” and then unroll a lot of supercilious commentary about calluses and stance and the state of a man’s boots, when exactly the same comments could apply to a man who was wearing his old clothes because he’d been doing a spot of home bricklaying for a new barbecue pit, and had been tattooed once when he was drunk and seventeen and in fact got seasick on a wet pavement. What arrogance! What an insult to the rich and chaotic variety of the human experience!”
I’ve started reporting and blocking every porn bot I see in the notes of my posts and various other posts I’ve been looking at as well and I encourage everyone to do the same
So, I know they ain’t cheap, but who would consider getting one of the limited editions of Blood of Iax when it comes out in September?
Wives of tumblr, please aid me.
Hahaha!

This ‘funny’ joke in the community where women resent their partners’ spending needs to fucking die.
I’m not sure they resent it though? I suspect it’s more of a “be responsible with your silly plastic addiction” thing.
(We all need to admit this addiction is silly — it’s okay and nice and we love it but in the grand scheme of things, it’s silly).
I told my husband to be careful with his silly plastic addiction.
Until the bastard got *me* sucked into the hobby and now I have to be careful with my silly plastic addiction!
I did the same with @40kshadesofpink. But another problem arised from that : Now we have to buy for two!
@adallhisausterenhost, I don’t think anyone in this thread is being facetious when they say they’re checking with their wife before splurging £40 on a fancy book, which seems about right to me.
Even more if you’re in the colonies. It comes out to about £50 in the US. £46 in Canada. And £51 in Australia. (65USD 80CAN and 90AUS respectively) thank the emperor for free shipping.
@a-40k-author Like I said, I’m not commenting on the specifics of resentment, just this repeated ‘joke’ in the community where women are long-suffering harridans who resent their partners’ hobbies. It’s not funny.
However, seeing as you’re here: £40 is too much for even a nice copy of a 40k novel, Jesus Christ. And an extra £10 for Australian customers is insulting (albeit less than the usual GW markup for Australians). I know you don’t set GW prices (and I like your writing!) but that price point is crazy cakes.
Oh, ok! I don’t think anyone made this kind of comment in this particular thread, but if you’re simply referring to the often (or sometimes?) heard in the local store “my wife is mean, she doesn’t let me get it” then yeah.
Frankly if your wife is a Harridan:
You got bigger problems then just affording a new land raider.
There’s probably a fanfic about that out there. At least, I hope there is.
shoutout to my coworker for thinking that “illuminati” and “alumnae” meant the same thing and absolutely destroying everyone in the room when he casually dropped the sentence “i get a discount there because i’m an illuminati” into the conversation
