[links, charmed, words] grammargasm, "dork"

[wispfox]

This grammargasm post (ok, more the comments) is charming the _hell_ out of me.

In other news, calling someone a dork and having them correctly interpret it as an affectionate term charms and delights me. *nod* Yep. Not that this reduces the accuracy of the label, however!

Hmm. I appear to use 'goof', and 'dork' more or less equivalently, alhough the former is far more frequent, since I think I've had it in my vocabulary from childhood. Consistantly, using either means I'm amused and charmed. It also tends to mean that the other person is behaving in a silly (and possibly cheeky, depending on who it is) way, since that's a pretty consistent way to both charm and amuse me. I do also just comment on the silliness, but that requires more than a single word. :)

Unfortunately, I do also use 'silly' to refer to (usually potential or theoretical) behavior whose underlying logic I do _not_ understand. I need a different word for this, I think. Preferably not offensive.

Aaaaanyway. I go. Before I babble even more. ;)

Everyone I love is considered a dork by me...heh.

Guess whether it hurts deyo's feelings to call him a dork. (Or, similarly, my own.)

*laugh* I have no need to guess, in fact. :)

Casey has only just gotten me accustomed to the affectionate use of such terms as "dork." He's trained me well, though.

*laughing* It's such a _good_ thing to be trained in. :)
