Haha ... Ah feminism... Moderate feminism is good... The whole extreme thing is too much. Call me outdated but yeah.

Do you like mangoes?

Posted from TSR Mobile


I don't eat mangoes that much (haven't eaten one in several years :tongue:).

Feminism doesn't really work as a word to describe the problem I have with chivalry (although chivalry isn't actually what you think it is). It's more like "gender equality"; in the same way that some women don't want male "chivalry" - in the colloquial sense - because they don't think they need men to help them, I don't want male "chivalry" because I don't think men to help them, and in the case of women who think they do, I don't think they necessarily deserve it.

That's not to say people of all genders can't just be nice to each other (and this is the true meaning of chivalry, although it only applies to males so **** that) :tongue:

Gotta say... I was really excited to meet the famous mango when you were in Italy and then you never came on here ...

Basically, somebody sent me a text message - she is super clever and know my parents and judge me based on my writing

Once I had a spelling error and she pointed it out when I met her :lolwut:
She's nice though

She wrote "hope your exams are going really well!"
What's a good reply I can give to say it is and I've done my maths and physics exams so far -> I basically need a nice "big" word to use but one which will also make me seem intelligent :P

You don't want to sound as though you specifically looked up a big word, I take it, so I won't go over the top :tongue:

"These gratuities are well-received, and reciprocated :smile: I've so far undertaken my Maths and Physics exams."

I went over the top :lol: Subtle lexical superfluousness can be done in ANY context, but not every context :pierre:

Sounds like you've got yourself sorted out; I can't reply in depth right now as I am literally half-asleep sorry :frown:

See you in the morn everyone!

Erm, are you just aiming for posh, or ostentatious words? Well both of them are pretty much the same :lol:

What Mango said '^'
If you need some big words, then let me know :smile:

edit: You're asking us to help you forge a text, I think it's natural sense :holmes: and you really shouldn't worry about being judged, especially about the way you write ._.

Posh but not too posh :s-smilie:S
Want it to sound natural but not over the top :s-smilie:S

What big words do you have in mind?

If you don't normally use "big" words, then it won't seem natural in any case :tongue: Really you'd seem smarter just to reply normally.

"Yeah, thanks, they've been going superfluously well, hopefully I'll do better than I ever would have expected."

That uses the word "superfluously" in a non-superfluous way so it's doubleplusgood.

I'm not really worried about being judged about this sort of stuff - it's just this person, they even know that I think about my reply just to seem clever :P it's like a private joke between us,,
I'm probably going to end up writing what mango said thanks!

Oooooh "ostentatious" I haven't used that word in a while, good one :awesome:

"Defenestrate" is my favourite word; what's yours?

yup, you told me defenestrate is your favourite :tongue:
there are so many good ones, too many actually.

I'm guessing your Latin teacher taught you those? xD (probably not defenestrate, but the other big words you might know)

You could perhaps mention that you were quite flummoxed about a few questions, but apart from that the exams were opprobriously easy. :holmes: :dontknow:

Nah, I'm too human unfortunately (although I'm a bit unpredictable... I guess I'm a bit anime like. Just a bit) :frown: I've only met one person in my life who's so fun to be around and I think he has mental problems.

The defining characteristic of humans is their lack of characteristics :dontknow:

Also I have 100GBs worth of anime. The series I got are so good :moon:


Looool oh bude... You intrigue me to no end.

I have to disagree with this completely.

"Mental problems" just means "capacity for fun" to me, with perhaps the exception of psychosis and depression and other actual problems :pierre: :tongue: :unimpressed: Autism for example; not a problem.

Of course, it's always the Latin teachers that go "and we get the word perambulator from the word ambo... opprobrium from opprobrium... a violet person can be described as pugnacious which comes from pugno..." etc.
