'Say Anything' is a John Cusak/Cameron Crowe 1989 teen flick. ' A noble underachiever and a beautiful valedictorian fall in love the summer before she goes off to college.' This is actually not what this thread is about, but the message is the same.
Actually no it isn't, I just like imdb.com and the title sounded interesting. /snort
This is not necessarily a vent thread - far from it. This is about saying anything - weather, the bird outside your work window, the fundamental differences between Mormons and catholics, how Law and Order Criminal Intent doesn't get the props it deserves, that I always forget whether it's 'it's' or 'its', that my daughter has a beautiful smile and the first guy that breaks her heart - I'm breaking his knees...it's about anything.
So, say anything.

The duck face reminds us of those dumb sorority girls that go to all the parties, wander around downtown (in college) towns giggling and talking about fashion, and in general being air-headed.
PharrenI can say "airheaded bimbo" and I'm pretty sure you know exactly what I'm talking about. I don't quite see why that is presenting a problem for you. Is it because you're automatically taking offense at the terms? They are just words. The meaning I intend to convey with them is irrelevant, in practice; the meaning you derive from them is all that matters. Try and reverse that, and see the meaning I am trying to convey. Yes, I mostly intend for them to assume their offensive meanings (not to you!), because that is how I automatically percieve those women to be. But they are just pictures. Do they intend to present themselves as airheaded bimbos? Probably not, though I'm sure some do. And so I have to look beyond my own assumptions to see the meaning they are trying to convey, if there is one.
I thought I did a neat thing there. The paragraph doesn't actually say much of anything, and could probably have been written with 2/3 less words, but it was a fun idea. Either it didn't work, or I am just way too easily amused by my own antics.
You have a beautiful smile and enchanting eyes.
You look like an exact replica of one of my aunts on my father's side when she was your age. She's the only person on my father's side of the family that I like. My favorite aunt! She's also the only one on that side who knows how to use a computer. We probably have a common ancestor somewhere way back there (that side is Scottish and English and I dunno what else; Welsh I think).
