Or these guys. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CunninLynguists Be sure to check out their mixtapes, Sloppy Seconds Vol 1 and Sloppy Seconds Vol 2 (cross referencing the cassette thread.)
I'm so embarrassed. Going from being school sixth grade spelling bee champ to not being able to spell cunnilingus. Where have my skills gone?

How do you guys feel about the word "plethora?"
Last night our daughter claimed that my wife uses it all the time, but my wife responded that "No I don't, I hate that word."
During the conversation I was thinking that it's a fun word, but I didn't want to chime in and invite an insult.

Am chuffed!!
interesting as I had thought it was a negative...but TIL it's both
The word "chuffed" has an interesting etymology with two distinct origins and meanings:
Positive meaning (pleased, delighted):
This usage originated in the 1850s, with the earliest known use in the 1950s15.

The Oxford English Dictionary's earliest evidence for this usage is from 1957, in the writing of Peter Wildeblood1.
Negative meaning (displeased, gruff):
This usage dates back to 1825-18357.
It comes from an older meaning of "chuff" as "a coarse or stupid fellow" or "rude fellow
