I can see both sides, both as a harmless word for gluteus maximus, but has also been sexualized in song (I feel like I just heard a song about having a big booty).
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Huh, my corporate holiday present arrived. Everyone in the company was given a fitbit Charge wristband.

I left a whole half hour early. My coworker drove me home, since it was cold, and it is totally out of his way, so very nice of him.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Picked up my groceries and now I am settling in for what is apparently my plan for the evening - snacks and movies. Starting with Kagemusha, then we'll see what I'm in the mood for.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I think I need to stop on the way home for snacks. I have wine, but no good snacks.
So far there is no sign that they will let us go home early, but it could still happen.

"Booty" doesn't seem that dirty to me either...maybe it would matter how someone said it. I don't think I ever have, though, outside the song,

Forgoing my usual Thai takeout for NYE.For once, I'm not socked out with a cold and I'm feeling cheap. But I am having miso with cabbage and spinach, because I haven't felt right all day. I'm a little afraid the crick in my neck is actually a precold symptom.
And I made cookies.

Rose's daycare teachers use "booty" regularly, and it always strikes me as odd, since I do think of it as a somewhat sexualized term. So I can see where your sister is coming from, meara, even if it does seem to be commonly used.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Huh, my corporate holiday present arrived. Everyone in the company was given a fitbit Charge wristband.
Wanna trade? The Theatre's namesake gave us a DVD (Goodman history or home movies? I'm waiting for someone else to watch and report) a logo'd pen with a LED light and a logo'd keychain. Last year was wine.
I wandered in to work around noon, but I didn't leave until 7. What is wrong with me?

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix
I got out a few hours early, took the dog for a walk and did some weeding.
Now it's off to dinner with some family friends, and then maybe a party. Should be a fairly quiet night.
Happy New Year, Buffistas!
