Well, not personally, and not solely...at least I don't think so!! :dunno: I can only claim responsibility for its resurgence in the metro Detroit area...and possibly Jersey, because my friend Laura who lives there has started saying it, too! :lol:

Also about insults being universal. Not quite. I got into big trouble once in Thailand. One of my housemates, who was Thai, brought a dog into the house (without asking anybody first) to babysit for several weeks. A pain-in-the-butt dog who peed on bathmat. Every morning at about 5:00am, she would get up to take care of the dog, who would then start barking furiously and she would shout at him for barking, and her shouting (right outside my bedroom door) was worse than the dog's barking. So one morning I told her, in Thai, "Stop barking like the dog." I thought I was pretty clever. She didn't speak to me for ONE WEEK. It turns out it is a horrible insult in Thailand to compare someone to a dog. So since we worked together and she was so obviously not talking to me, people would say, "What did you do?" And I would tell the story and they would gasp and then go, "Well, still, you didn't know . . ."


That's pretty crunked up!! :razz:

Sorry, couldn't help myself... :wink:

Insults aren't necessarily universal, no...but the biggies involving sex and elimination, pretty much!

Does anyone know of a place where one can download some Vulcan fonts? You know, ones that can be used for decorating pics and stuff... Doesn't really have to "mean" anything.

^^ Thanks! :)

I meant fonts that I can use for "writing" on documents and pictures, so I'll go experiment with the links provided...

^ Let me know how they work. There were more links, but those were among the first few in the search. If you want to see the other ones I think the exact phrase I Googled was "free Vulcan fonts."

The ttf files are in the dowloads at those web sites so they should work with documents.

Yes. Who?
Well yes. I continue to write. And on Fanfiction.Net, for those who want, it is possible to cast a glance at my latest efforts. We arrived to
The Ears of the Elves, chapter Forty-four


And here is the beginning of the whole story.

But, I must say, you could also find something else on Fanfiction.net written by me. If you want.
