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. ;)
