    Like, if you're on fleek it means you're on point or stylish. I would never use it myself, it's only the most annoying slang word in the English language.

    I confess: I am not afraid anymore. I was before, but I'm not now.

    My fMC holds her breath during orgasm til she passes out. She comes and goes... :D

    It was a motorbike for me. And a few lawnmowers...

    Had a 2002 PT for 7 years til I traded it to a broker and got a Jeep Rubicon. I loved my PT, but I never looked back! There's only one Jeep! :D

    No. That's the one thing I'm truly afraid of.

    That's a comforting yet vaguely threatening thing to say, thank you.

    Confession: i live in fear that my friends will find someone they like better than me and decide they dont want me anymore (happened a lot in the past), so i will withdraw from them without realizing, to lessen the blow for when it happens, which ends up pushing them away.

    On the plus side... I've figured out when im stuck in that hole.
    The downside is.... I still havent figured out what to do about it...

    I confess......

    I will dance and sing the day the Boogie Man dies. He has been living a double life, hiding in the shadows, pretending to be the ever so faithful husband and father. He's a predator with no remorse or regret. He thinks I don't remember. He hopes I don't remember. I will never forget 7 years of his hands roaming where they should not; 7 years of his demands; 7 years of this threats; 7 years of laying in my bed, listening for his foot steps and living in fear. It's been over 40 years and I can still smell the alcohol on his breath, the taste of his semen, and the grit in his voice. I've never cried. I've never said a word.

    He's aged now. He looks tired and worn. His end is near. I can almost taste Freedom.

    I don't like making people sad. I prefer to make people think.

    Do you have a template or do you just wing it?

    I have killed billions of innocent people. I have tortured the bodies and souls of my enemies for my own vengeance and pleasure. I have judged and condemned many for their crimes while I have been overtly committing the same crimes thousands of times over, and again. I have put myself on public trial and found me guilty, and condemned myself only to be unanimously forgiven, even praised, by millions. My sentence is to exist while my dearest wish is death - until my task is done. Hoping to be forgotten, I will become eternal.

    We are all sinners. Are we not?
    The path to eternal life is narrow and only a few find it.

    It's been happening off and on for centuries though. Look at Shakespeare. Mixed in with the clever wordplay was constant slang. He used and created slang faster than a modern rapper. Changes may have sped up with social media, but not that I can tell. It doesn't seem any faster than it was in the nineties. I have noticed that terms seem more universal now. It's like all the kids use the same lingo. I'd at least heard every term in that video (granted, it was a four-year-old video,) but in the nineties, kids who listened to Beck and the Beastie Boys had different slang from the kids who listened to gangsta rap and so on. I could be wrong, but that seems less true now. Maybe I'm only privy to the more universal terms. Then again, maybe there are fewer countercultures battling for cotrol of teen world these days.

    The thing I dislike is when a term changes for no reason and was very recently used in a different manner. "Lit" meant stoned not very long ago. It was too soon to re-appropriate that word. I have no problem with the new usage, but the phenomenon is annoying, especially if you misunderstand and embarrass yourself the first time you hear it.

    Edit: One thing the internet does is teach these words to forty-year-olds like me. I think teen slang is less of a secret language than it was when I was a kid.

    Don't worry, we made sure to get around this with inner-circle clique lingo. Can't have those pesky adults knowing what we're talking about.

    Oh, I guess I can't use "we" anymore, since I'm 21. But that's what we used to do, anyway.

    I'd tell you, but that might cut into my Etsy business.

    I confess that the only reason I can always remember the correct spelling of "privilege" is Stephen Seagal's explanation of the roots of the word in the movie Above the Law.
