I don't know why you were ever worried about being VC's dad, RF. I've met her, and I can confirm that she's human.

And Cerise, I'm pretending you didn't just quote Joey at me, because I don't want to believe that that's what just happened.

Haha, let's both pretend it never happened.

You're confusing the specific with the generic. If a specific woman wants her partner to call her Lordess Grand High Poobah the Third of Bohemia, I am down with that. If she wants him to call *me* that too as a generic term for a dominant woman, I'm entitled to dislike it.

You've still established nothing regarding the word "domina," other than you don't particularly care for it, despite that you seemed to imply earlier that it is somehow objectively undesirable.

I missed out what I thought was the obvious context, but fine let's fill in the blanks: people's complaints about the word 'domme' often revolve around the fact that it's faux-French. Ok? With me here? That's the bit I left out.

I'm guessing you already know this, with the linguistics degree and all, but since we're spelling everything out 'domina' the feminine form of the Latin word 'dominus', and although it's a real word it really doesn't mean 'kinky sex fiend' in Latin, it means 'woman who is married to the master (dominus) of the house'. Using it in the sense of 'kinky sex fiend' is a corruption of the original Latin. Therefore it's faux-Latin. Which is, as I said, no better than faux-French.

And then you have the issue that 'dominus' is not the word we use for a dominant male. Which means using 'domina' would be an inconsistent feminine form. Which is why it doesn't make sense.

Whereas if we stick with the faux-French instead of the faux-Latin, 'domme' is at least a reasonable feminine form of 'dom'.

Which is prettymuch all I said in the first place.

Seriously, none of the above is particularly controversial. You're being kind of stalky about this.

I've noticed him using similar tactics in several threads.

He's just gagging for an argument, and doesn't much mind about what, or with whom.

Jeez, Mr Fugue, way to make a girl feel special

For the record, by the way: I am not a hamster. Just in case anyone's wondering.

I would expect that hamsters struggle with typing.

You implied you weren't human, so I thought you might be an alien, as per "V". They apparently like hamsters for munchies ;)

Whoops. If this were a conversation in person, I would make the 'right over my head' hand gesture and whistle combination.

Let's do a Cerise and pretend that little exchange never happened, k? :p

Put something in the oven.

And then say something sarcastic about how I'm wrong.

And you'll think you're safe because this is the internet and who's gonna be able to tell?

But secretly me and you both will know you're baking right now. I can practically smell the fucking pie.
