You don't remember what Atsali did to Tsillah's mom, do you?

(She wasn't successful in the murder (for a number of reasons) but it's the actions that count!)
Not a murderer, just a dangerous startle reflex. :ugeek:
^This.

There's a difference between someone with a dangerous startle reflex and someone who is a cold blooded murderer. I've seen the "I can't read people, I'm a robot that murders people" trope one too many times and its nice to see someone portrayed with Aspie characteristics that isn't that.

A little boob squish goes a long way.
Still, there's a risk of it going the wrong way.

Once upon a time, a B-movie critic named Joe Bob Brigggs published his Canonical Hooters List. It listed 1,185 euphemisms from "A-B-Cs" to "ZZ Tops". Google search fails to locate that document (just outdated links to his site that have gone 404), but my archives contains a copy I saved as a spreadsheet on 2010-09-22. Your contribution does not appear on his list.

It's a Cockney rhyme (sp?). Like "butcher's hook" for "look", or "septic tank" for "yank". British society tend to be pretty xenophobic, arrogant and self important.

compared to who?? sound more like some USA... you may have met the usually brainless Londoners :roll: ...
If you venture 100 miles or so south or north you should find them a lot better...
I was born in scotland, where they are much more friendly - My family moved south back then to get better jobs... :)

I'd have to say.... everyone.

So my childhood was basically getting the crap beat out of me once a week for 9 years or so. So after I had my face reattached, I basically have the range of facial expressions ranging from: NONE to Scowl to Constipated Forced Smirk. So I basically leave it on NONE.

You have no idea how much it freaks people out.

In fact, even if I point it out, it don't matter with most people. Add in the nerve damage so my body language is a little off and I become a Human Rorschach Test for how people are feeling. I've been attacked by co-workers because "They could see how angry I was by the look of rage on my face". Boy were they surprised when I asked "Which side was filled with rage? Because this half is mostly paralyzed."

90% of the people you meet totally SUCK at reading body language and facial expressions. Hell, when I play poker, I can kick ass against professionals, but suck against amateurs. People like to THINK they are good at reading people, but they suck. Sp the idea there's someone out there who is the far end of the bell curve? Sure. Totally acceptable.

You might be surprised. I apparently scare the crap out of people. I've never understood why. My (grown) kids have informed me that their friends are mostly terrified of me, and my oldest daughter's boss nearly didn't let me in one day when I went to pick her up.

Misreading expressions, I understand. And the face thing. My younger daughter had an awful time recognizing individual faces. My ex, (no doubt deliberately) seemed absolutely incapable of correctly understanding people's body language.

It's just the utter lack of ANY recognition, even incorrect recognition that's giving me trouble.

Well, yeah - but in practical usage, you just say "butcher's" - the rhyme is understood. Calling a Bronx cheer a raspberry is rhyming slang - the full phrase is "raspberry tart".

"Load of old cobblers" (a preposterous or mendacious story) is from "cobbler's halls"...

================

So "threepennies" would be "threepenny bits".

auto correct?? :D :/ - I think you mean "cobbler's awl" from here...
The rhyming slang linked cobbler’s awls with balls, that is, testicles.
- now where ''balls' became linked to 'rubbish', etc, is a much deeper story... I guess take a 'rude' body part, and use it as an insult..
ah found .. http://www.thefreedictionary.com/bollocks

'balls' are often called 'bollocks' from the old english, 'beallucas', originally a diminutive form of 'ball'..

As they say, the only difference between Rugby and English football, is the shape of their balls!!! :lol:
