The English Grammar Book for People Who Really Know Grammar indicates: " "that" instead of 'this' may reflect contempt for the object mentionned on the part of the enunciator. Example: "Dude, that guy was laaaaaame" "
My barbie doll used to be attacked by a same-size "discover the human body" skeletton in a barbie wedding dress (Barbie's long dead ghost sister or whatevah) while Ken was getting kidnapped by a lego space ship. Could that explain my fucked up sex life?
