Not a football fan? What are you doing today?
louisev:
hey Lynne, if you haven't seen "Wolverine"it is out on DVD and I saw copies of it in the Safeway. I enjoyed it with a rewatch of the X-men series.
And staying warm is NOT a problem today - we have bright sunshine beating down and I am just getting settled in to writing another chapter of "Agents of the Law"

Hmm.....tough choice..... but given the choice between superbowl (whatever that is) and schmooperbowl, I think I'll go for the latter. Not that I know what that is either, but somehow it sounds more familiar and friendly. ;D
No, I didn't know what a wardrobe malfunction is either, but I looked it up... ;)
I can think of another meaning of it, with a BBM connection. Wardrobe = closet; malfunction = something being used in a wrong way; a closet being used to hide one's homosexuality (a closeted gay) = a wardrobe malfunction!! ;D
And please don't ask what I've been doing today, lest I get a nervous breakdown.
I'm moving, and it's hellish!! Although today I actually managed to get a little further with it all. Yay me!! ::) ;D

No no no a "wardrobe malfunction"is the term used during the infamous Super Bowl of 2004 to describe what happened when Janet Jackson showed off her nipple jewelry on national television and of course, her nipple at the same time. I think they also call it "Nipplegate." The network was fined many millions of dollars for that incident. Nowadays the term "wardrobe malfunction"is in common use as a euphemism for nudity.
"Wardrobe"in this case means a piece of clothing, not the closet it comes from. A person's "wardrobe"is their collection of clothing.

I think that´s what Sonja found when she googled it. The BBM reference was a creation of her own, like she wrote.
Sason:
Louise, like Monika said I created the BBM reference myself. I thought it was a funny "alternative use" of the phrase.
But thanks for the explanation of the origin of the term, that's interesting! (and funny)
