I'll use "sod" sometimes when I'm annoyed with someone, but that's the extent. I imagine it comes from "sodomy"? And you know where I am ;)

1) New Zealand
2) Yes. And frequently bemused by the fact that despite its literal meaning, it's not considered a Bad Word here. Although then again, neither is 'bugger'.
3) Alllll the time.

Thanks for the Links.

Actually, I may be tempted to read a Legendary Badfic anyway. I mean, it can't be THAT bad, right? right?

(And shouldn't My Immortal be on that list?)

1. Southwest U.S.
   
   2. Yes, thanks to Hot Fuzz.
   
   3. Because I tend to imitate the speaking styles of things I read or watch, I used it a bit after seeing Hot Fuzz the first time, and a few times recently thanks to reading the Board/PPC missions.

It's only begging if I grovel. If I just ask outright, that's fine.

1) Just upstairs from you, Padsy.

2) More so than I was earlier, after hearing you list the words you wanted to use that the censors were blocking.

3) Sometimes.

That pathetic look is the human version of Monty's begging for food face! Therefore, to me, it's begging.

Mm, roast...

Don't worry. I'm a northerner; I have a vast stock of endearments to break out in times of crisis, pet.

I think I may be growing immune to the 'sweetie darling' ploy. Possibly. Hopefully.

Excuse me, I never beg.

Look pathetic, yes. Remind you of the divine roast I cooked you this evening, yes. Beg, no.

It's not nice seeing (or reading, for that matter) a grown woman beg :P

So, I just had the fun of trying to explain what "sodding" means to an American, in a forum with censors that don't allow the word "bugger". It was surprisingly hard difficult. So, random language usage question:

1) Where are you?

2) Are you familiar with the meaning of "sodding"?

3) Do you actually use the word?

Count yourself lucky, I nearly went for sweetie darling, but I was distracted by Trojie texting.

Darling? You're really laying it on thick this time. *steps to one side* You won't get anything if those anvils hit me.

In which case, darling, could you be a dear and run and grab me another beer please?

If you were Tim I'd have brained you with that kettle by now. Then again, you actually know how to ask nicely and say please, which is something that git lacks.

Credit where it's due, lass. You have some authority. I'd trust you more than many with the kettle, for a start.

Well, theys hould stop it, because it drives me up the wall, and when I rule the world said people will be first up against the wall.

Well, you can always cheat, like I did, and not actually seek Permission until you've been writing for a year, and then have fifty missions count as your writing sample. But that's not recommended.

As soon as I'm sober, or as soon as Trojie's back from Auckland, whichever is first, we'll put together a post for the lj comm with links to all our missions. Is there a tagging system in place there?

Not our fault you crazy Americans use a comma instead of a period.

Ah. The SuePer powers. Yes. That was actually spawned from a review on one of my contributions to "The Mary Sue Experiments," which said that I had become the Self-Aware Mary-Sue. Yeah, when I was first thinking up my character, I wondered, "How would her powers work if they dissapeared every time someone noticed them?" And, that led to her noticing them and having them go poof as well.
On the "Q-or-a-Q-like-entity" angle... I was originally planning to do another MSE in the Star Trek continuum, but it never exactly took off, due to other circumstances. I'll try to fix 'er up when I start doing missions.
Oh, and thanks for that comment on Sidhe. Yeah, the eye-color was a bit unnecessary, wasn't it? He is going to be the most well-balanced, most exasperated half of the team...for the moment.

Welcome to the dedicated crazy! Help yourself to a venomous arthropod of your choice.

Yeah, I'm not a big fan of swearing either, in speech or in typing.

Eh. *I* think it's epic. Whether anyone else does is up to them. He keeps forgetting a hell of a lot of commas, but overall, the story's still really awesome. It took me about a month and half of trawling the load of crap in the Harry Potter archive on ff.net to find it... To steal someone's signature on DevArt-- "Finding a good fic is like looking for change in a sewer. You know it's there, but you have to go through a lot of crap to find it."
It doesn't have to have an article. It was just a random suggestion brought on by the anti-biotics. There's a nasty bug going around my hometown(so many kids are sick that the doctor told me to stay home unless I got bad cramps), and I've been taking a ton of drugs...
Meh. I'm whining, someone shoot me.
