I can't believe it's not butyl isocyanate.

PITA for "pain in the ass".

"I can't find my nuts"

Mainly for squirrels, that one.

Thanks to a hasty rework of an acronym back in '01, the insult "twot" entered my vocabulary....

Back when I was deejay for wedding receptions I would have to prepare by doing paperwork for the time table of wedding reception events in order to get on the mic and be the master of ceremonies.

You end up making up acronyms. Sometimes independently reinventing the same ones as folks in the industry use like "the mob" (mother of the bride), or, for the guy who gives the toast, its often the BM/BOG (best man who is also the brother of the groom).

Even songs.

There are countless zillions of love songs in the world.

But in the late Nineties era I was doing it about half of the couples would pick one or the other of just TWO songs for their first dance.

Those two being "E.I.D" ("Everything I Do...I Do it For You" by Bryan Adams), or "H.I.T.Y.L." (Have I told you lately that I love you). But at least with the later you did have to jot down which version...the original Van Morrison version, the Rod Stewart studio version, or...the live Rod Stewart MTV Unplugged version.

"HITYL Van Morrison", "HITYL Rod Stewart", and "HITYL Rod Stewart Unplugged", all competed with each other.

I had JTWYA Barry White


My husband picked it because of course I had no say

I should have known with the lines "I might not seem to care", and "I just want someone I can talk to" --
God knows he didn't want sex, or an actual wife

Maybe wanting me just the way I was meant that he knew I was weird, autistic and gullible
Maybe it meant he wanted me just the way I was, with my trust fund

The possibilities are endless

I know it as Billy Joel song. Didnt know that Barry White did a version of it.

Mom liked the Billy Joel version.

Wow...but that also brings back some painful memories...having to do with my parents failed marriage (they didnt divorce but should have).

We'd always liked and listened to Billy Joel when dating so I don't know why he didn't just pick that. Billy Joel still gives me dating memories but I just listened to White and it doesn't even ring a bell. It's like I've never heard it before.
