Most kids don't usually look forward to getting braces. The process is guaranteed to be painful, takes place in an over-reclined chair which probably wouldn't have been out of place at a party thrown by the Marquis de Sade, and inevitably involves multiple individuals sticking gloved fingers and metal instruments in your mouth.

Nailed it! Like the people above. I'm going to be looking for an opportunity to use your word in a conversation. :)

Glad you liked. I dunno whether I should be embarrassed or not that, as I told kagomeshuko, I hadn't even seen the Urban Dictionary definition. Still, being MTA, I obviously like my definition better. *grin*

Thank you for reading and commenting.

Thanks so much for reading and commenting.

Thank you! I wouldn't say excited... I think she's still glad she has them, but the pain caught her a little unprepared. Luckily, one of Sarah's friends had braces in the past, and she got to compare notes with her. It always helps to have someone to share the experience with.

Yeah, I was scrambling to come up with something as a comeback for her critique of my poor clothing style. I think I did OK.
