What kind of teenager uses words like assets anyway?

I did. When I was a teenager (a few years ago!! :D ), I had enough vocabulary to put my teachers on show!! :lol: :lol: It came from my love of reading.... in fact I loved English so much I would even, at times, read the dictionary and learn words straight out of there.. :D

Call it nerdy if you will, but it got me places!!

Eg... Beneath her sycophantically pleasant veneer was an adjunct baleful malignance which was intrinsically intertwined with a conspicous aura of perpetual enigma. Her dark sensual eyes protruded against the veneer of robust black rimmed spectacles and a superfluously lustrous cape. The iridescent street lamps cast spectacles of salient, dancing light across the disheveled pavement, obtrusively flickering through the stagant dust which speckled the precariously chilling night air.

:D Lol im such a show off!!!

Sorry, but with all due respect, I think its painful. You've loaded that pragraph with a lot of words that simply don't make sence in the context of the paragraph. "the veneer of robust black rimmed spectacles"? "stagant dust"? "precariously chilling night air"? "disheveled pavement"?

It's obviously a sentence written by an overly ambitious teenager trying to impress his/her English teacher. But like a bouquet of flowers wildly made out of mismatched though beautiful blowers, it ends up as merely a "blob" of unrelated colour.

Sorry.

Now that's pretty.

LOLL!!! Now WHERE is your sense of humour? :D

Mefinks its pretty good for someone who wrote it in 2 minutes! Your dislike of my sentences has only prompted me to study the dictionary harder! :lol:

Stangant dust - meaning dust is still/unmoving/ parallels the idea that the atmosphere itself and the air itself is still/unmoving/stagnant

Precariously chilling night air - meaning dangerously chilly night air...ie. so chilly its dangerous/gives you goosebumps :D

disheveled pavement - this is a metaphor to depict the notion that the pavement is rough/unorderly/untidy/possibly still under construction

veneer of robust black rimmed spectacles - using veneer here is to mean that the glasses, usually representing someone sensible and proper and educated, are actually a veneer or a facade for the superficiality beneath them. eg. a veneer of friendliness.

So there - all your questions explained lucky luke!! Now how about you try one?!:lol: :lol: This is a friendly contest=)

No need to explain your use (abuse?) of various English words to me love. Still looks the same to me. I'll also decline the offer of a "friendly contest". Your obviously the expert.

:) (in case you think I haven't got a sense of humour).
 
At the moment, all my assets are invested in the impending arrival of the fruits of my uterus, and I'm not showing you how I filled it, or wherefrom it will be emptied. OPSEC being critical, and all.

Aussie translation...
I saw a hooker last night. :|

I saw a hooker freezing her arse off last night. (edited to elaborate, I'm a show off too :lol: )
 
"Her dark sensual eyes protruded against....."
That sounds a bit ouchy!

On another note, well done on your literary effort, keep up the good work

Cheers

Said continuing a sense of fun to make the most out of 'threads that should never have been or encouraged and yet are enjoying a life of their own':

Did you mean: "You're obviously the expert."?
