This is my favorite French word of all time! Gangerh, how did you know?!

Je ne sais pas, c_b. But it does have a certain 'je ne sais quoi'.
I had a French girlfriend once who fell asleep the minute her feet hit the pillow.

Does any one have a list like '101 things you can't do on your own'?

The truth comes out. I guess it takes a page like this to make it happen.
Gangerh, for some reason I thought you are female. What a hilarious misunderstanding!

Gangerh could be female & have a girlfriend, c_b. Just sayin'. :-)

Yes, I realize that, reesetee. "Some of my best friends are lesbians!" I reiterate: What a hilarious misunderstanding!

I know, I know. Just trying to give you a hard time. :-P

gangerh commented on the word soixante-neuf
I'm wondering what signals Wordies give off in their words by which other Wordies infer their sex. For instance, chained_bear, was it how I went all personstrionic that decided you? Sorry to tell you that that was only an act.
Oh .... and I made it up about my French girlfriend.

reesetee commented on the word soixante-neuf
Hmm. I'm not sure it's the words themselves. For me, it's often the person's screen name that suggests gender. But I try to keep an open mind. :-)

chained_bear commented on the word soixante-neuf
Uhh... no, gangerh. And were you implying that only females would go all personstrionic?! Huh?! What do you MEAN by that?!
