Have you ever been reading a book, moving along quite nicely, and then-- bam --a character whips out a particular term of endearment that just yanks you right out of the story? It happened to me recently, and I'm sad to say I couldn't recover. I did try. But she just kept using that term and I . . . I had to get the hell out of Dodge. Buh-bye, story. Don't let the door hit you on the way out. I'm not saying this is the norm (thank goodness). I can put up with a certain amount of treacly back and forth when it comes to the exchange of terms of endearment, especially if they fit the characters, their background, culture, the tenor of their relationship, etc. And the history of these terms at home and from around the world is often fascinating (at times hilarious). But there comes a point where I can't see past the cheese and/or weird anymore and I do not want to be with these people any longer . Shallow? Perhaps. But it's a very individual thing, isn't it?...
I hate that song so much I was reluctant to watch the video, but I have to say it was totally worth it.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, this is so hilarious! I'm still laughing.
ReplyDeleteI have seen this before, but it cracks me up every single time.
ReplyDeleteYup, there's a whole bunch of these. I like the "Take On Me" one too! So many giggles.
ReplyDeleteRJ, I'm glad. It's so many flavors of awesome.
ReplyDeleteLiza, it has a lasting effect. I'm still giggling intermittently as well.
