No, Starbucks, No.
What is the big poofed up lid for? Do these drinks have a mountain of whipped cream that must not be squished? Honestly. This foo-foo non-coffee crap must stop!

SL Letter of the Day: I'm Out.
Never call a woman a cunt in the US. Never use cunt as a negative label to anyone. Period. And be very careful about using it in other English speaking contexts. It is very offensive.You will lose friends and if you make new friends they will be worthless people. It is just plain not OK.
You LW, have no entitlement for using it and your "joke" is lame and actually sounds like an after the fact explanation to justify what you know damn well was an offensive thing to say.
If you are really a college student and if you wish to be an educated person, you will find other lexical items to creatively express yourself.
Do not use the term "cunt."

David Sedaris on The Daily Show.
I love them both. And I think Jon was a bit star struck. The piece was so short there wasn't much they could really get into. And did I say I love them both?

Remember the Good Old Days, When "Rape Used to Mean Rape"?.
Exactly, Westello. Presenting a tortured, completely overly thought out piece of silliness about "rape used to mean rape" is a mis-application of her "smaller smarter government" stance. Apparantly smaller government is so small it can travel to the future and sneak into the brains of people who are divorcing and see that they are lying. She may have a bachelors degree in linguistics but she clearly did not learn the part about language change being normal and expected, and the part that teaches that proscribing usage is not the job of the linguist. Neither descriptive nor explanatory adequacy here that I can see.
Also, I am so tired of David Rakoff being dead. I miss his work a lot. He deserved more time. Goddamn it.
