I hate what the mainstream media's done to that word.
Umm... isn't the Furry community partially to blame?
You got all kinds of learnin' and you made me look the fool without tryin', and yet here I am with a gun to your head. That's 'cause I got people with me. People who trust each other, who do for each other, and ain't always lookin' for the advantage.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
There were furries and plushies on ER? I must have missed an ep.
I now have a chatty co-worker. Who's fascinated by chicks into sci-fi. Oy.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

One guy who was both. He was dressed in a kangaroo costume and having his way with Carrie's cat puppet.
She caught him and almost ripped his thing off.
I also learned what "tortes" were last week on Judge Judy.
I need to go for a walk.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Wait, wait. That's just a dessert of some sort, right? Or is that someone who likes to have sex with dessert now?

If I had a dime for everytime I've forgotten what a tort was ... well, maybe I'd have thirty cents. But, still. Won't stick.

Was this a repeat? I'm way curious now.

I have the same problem with "comprise". I can never remember if a zoo comprises animals or animals comprise a zoo.
So I don't use the word.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
I think a zoo is composed of animals and animals comprise a zoo.

Zoo comprises animals.
I nearly always excise that from documents though, because no matter how you use it, someone thinks it's wrong. And even if they're a wrong-headed crackpot, the damage is done.
