--- Quote from: serious crayons on September 03, 2012, 09:43:36 pm ---Years on years ago, I saw a S&M that was so amazing I clipped and saved it (not forever, unfortunately). It was a little story about a guy going to a party that was packed with positive versions of verbs and adjectives we almost exclusively use the negative versions of. "Plussed" instead of "nonplussed," for example. Chalant. Nerving. And so on.
In subsequent years, I've tried in vain to find it again. I don't remember the author and have no idea how I'd search for it.

I don't remember that one, but I'd wager "kempt" was probably at that party, too.
Of course I do have to stop and replus myself when I see it referred to as "S&M." That generally means something else where I come from. ;D

As you can see, Katherine, we're definitely on the same page!

Hey yeah! I didn't know what you were referring to before today.

For a moment, I considered calling it a Shout and Murmur, singular.

How timely is the article on the making of CLOUD ATLAS in the latest issue! It's great to read all about the brother/sister duo who made the movie as well as the Matrix series. At the debut in Toronto (covered in another thread here in the Culture Tent), Lana had her first credit as a director. Before this she was listed as Larry.
