A Promise to Katranna re: lj slang
Mar. 23rd, 2005 09:25 amI, Dangermousie, being of somewhat sound mind and body, do solemnly state that I will not use the terms "D.H." or "W.H." (dear husband or wonderful husband) when referring to my husband. For one, I don't really use the lj for personal stuff. For another, unless his initials were Dorkling Humbert or Wilfrid Humbug, I see no need. Finally, his wonderfulness and dearness are too incontrovertible to need to be stated.
However, I fully reserve the right to use such terms as: (1) "icon love" as it is much shorter than saying "Wow, your icon is so very pretty. I love the naked chest/angst/hottie/angsty hottie's naked chest," (2) "Teh Hot/Teh Yum/Teh Misspelled Article" because semi-sanctioned mispelling is so cool and fights the orthodoxy of meaning, and (3) "Danke" because I can (for a nanosecond) pretend to be a polyglot and because it's shorter to write out than "Spasibo."
Various sounds such as: Squee, Guuuuh and ahhhhhhh shall also be utilized when necessary (read: when grimy angsty men are involved).
Love,
Dangermousie
