“fuck me now” provides the this and that. His sentence designates a condition remembering nothing. It is exciting how this fence gags a shift to “just” familiarity and leaves a control that stays. There are better fuckers than he and certainly others who do not provide a reason for me...
In reading the above sentence a curious apothegm of an old weather-beaten Dutch navigator comes full upon my recollection. "It is as sure," he was wont to say, when any doubt was entertained of his veracity, "as sure as there is a sea where the ship itself will grow in bulk like th...
One way to understand silly words is to look at example sentences that use them in context. For instance, “I’m feeling quite flibbertigibbet today” might not make sense on its own, but when used in a sentence, it can convey a specific meaning. In this case, flibbertigibbet could me...
