I had a kind of Rafal-coded thought, so here goes:

I have a proposition for a new slang word.

Firstly, "to slay," aside from meaning "to kill," could mean "to suceed," in a more figurative way.

And, "to choke," aside from its literal meaning and it being a possible route to death, can mean "to fail," usually in a spectacular fashion or when the pressure is on, like a cringefail, pathetic man.

Yet, there's no middle ground! You can either succeed/succeed at killing, or you can fail/choke to death yourself. But what about a murder method that involves choking, that does succeed?

That is why I propose: "to garrote."

Yes, its literal definition alludes to a form of medieval execution that I think Rafal wouldn't be above using, and that definition is to "kill (someone) by strangulation, typically with an iron collar or a length of wire or cord."

However, I think the figurative, slang definition could be "to finally succeed after a succession of messy failures," as in, you succeed, but not right away, not immediately. Or, alternatively, you succeed, but in a less than favorable way, which could also be embarrassing in nature.

Oh, dear. Would you embrace the mischief in me? I have a lot of flaws, love. Nope, not your ordinary. I could be your mess. Don't fret. I'm best at good love. Wicked to myself, probably. But, never to anyone. Never to you. Definitely.

(A little 18+ plus humor here)

Wu: *talking about a previous Master of water* I remember him, he called himself Semen(He says Semen and not Seaman) he always depended on me for things.

Nya: Sea man.

Kai: Master Wu. Quick question..was he ever in your hair?

Wu: Semen was impossible to get out of my hair.

Nya: Guys stop

Cole: So he was always on your back?

Wu: If semen wasn't on my back semen on was my face when I was younger semen was everywhere.

Everyone except Wu and Nys begins to laugh and almost fall out of their chairs.

Wu: What? Was it something I said?

Nya: *facepalms*

Gale-Souled

bring back homeric epithets. call people brave-hearted, swift-footed, laughter loving and loud thundering. view the world with its rosy fingered and saffron robed dawns, its wine dark seas. make your own, walk across kiln fired earth and moss soft as sea sponges. be dew-eyed and soft-cheeked and silver-souled, deft-fingered and bright-tongued. gaze up at the many-storied stars and feel the warmth of the ancient sun, father of gods and men, as it beats down on the shimmering world, soft spun like caterpillar silk

'In English,' Professor Austin said, 'a double negative forms a positive. However, in some languages, such as Russian, a double negative remains a negative. But there isn’t a single language, not one, in which a double positive can express a negative.' A voice from the back of the room piped up, 'Yeah, right.'

I bought my friend an elephant for their room.

They said “Thank you.”

I said “Don’t mention it.”
