TAXIDERMIC SMILES

That's a rock band.

[cimorene]

I'll give it an A+ for horror imagery, but I've gotta admit that probably makes it worse as a rock band. They'd probably traumatize me with their art and branding.

WHY WOULD HE TAXIDERMY HIS FRIEND’S SMILES?? Is this a serial killer AU?

[shaggy]

The one I see all the time that drives me absolutely crazy is a weary in place of wary. Just came across it again.

[ealgylden]

Every. day. Every day I see that. Drives me frickin' bugnuts.

[shaggy]

I can’t remember the last time I even saw wary used correctly, it’s just disappeared lol. Real time example of a semantic change.

A swing of gin sounds about right.
