I find this needlessly pejorative, but my girlfriend should like it . . .

Lorna's got a bit of Bridget Jones in her.

[onetime_actor]

Does that mean Bridget and Wall-E would be a good match?

I don't pretend to understand the intricacies of memes, Mr. Hellrung.

-adjective 1. having a disparaging, derogatory, or belittling effect or force: the pejorative affix -ling in princeling.
-noun 2. a pejorative form or word, as poetaster.

That's a good word, although I have no idea what a poetaster is. I guess they didn't misspell pietaster. Dictionaries aren't allowed to misspell things.

[skids_sally]

A poetaster is an inferior poet; a writer of indifferent verse or so says dictionary.com.

I didn't see the need for the 'cling wrap' term is all.

[only_pepper]

You don't look anything like Bridget Jones.

And I've never felt uncomfortable around you.

[onetime_actor]

Thank you, though presumably you're not the person I'm allegedly clinging to.

And I like Bridget Jones.

[only_pepper]

This is true. No clinging happened. I don't think you cling to Lorna.... but then again, I haven't seen the two of you together.

And I didn't say Bridget Jones was a bad movie. I just said you looked nothing like her.

[onetime_actor]

It's the whole use of 'cling' that bothers me.

I like how the quiz just kind of assumes that people are going to react badly if you want to take care of them.

I was single for the last three years and I was happy.

I think it's a good idea to be capable of it, but caring about other people isn't necessarily clinging.
