I only use "ma'm" as an insult.
Somebody yelled at me as I was jogging, "Way to go, Pops!" I wanted to pop him one.
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo -- the author might have considered editing the rough draft. I don't appreciate lectures on some scientific digression in the middle of a novel. And about the fourth time the author used a kinky sex scene to spice it up because the whole story was bogging down, I got fed up with that ploy. The hero/journalist was so full of himself professionally and so smug with how he juggles his love relationships, I wanted to roll up an issue of his investigative journal and give him a bop on the head.
Despite many friends telling me I would love Beloved, I could not get more than a chapter or two into it. I felt like I had been dropped into the middle of a party and did not know who anybody was or whom anybody was talking about. I approached Life of Pi, The Little Prince, and The Alchemist all with high expectations, but found all of them to be what I particularly dislike in books, ham-handed allegories about supposedly big ideas but with cookie cutter characters that do boring things with what little they have. I particularly disliked The Life of Pi. If I wanted to read an essay on the meaning of it all, I would not be picking up a novel. Essays are okay, but I like them to be labelled as such.
I first made out in my Dad's Isuzu diesel. It accelerated from 0 to 40 in about 20 seconds. I, on the other hand, accelerated from 0 to 120 in about 4 seconds.
My wife uses my Amazon account. Checking my recommendations: Ininji toe socks, Icebreaker women's Sprite hot pants, and Shock Doctor extra capacity mouth guard. This gives me a whole new appreciation for the woman I married!

I have a strong compulsion to be a martin, even though others keep telling me not to.
