Here in Britain, it is a general-purpose derrogation for people who seem to be of... "limited capacity", I suppose you'd say. It's not a nice term, but it passed into common usage. If she's using that term, you can assume the guy is extremely low in her estimation.

I don't know if Lurker is British, or if the usage is more widespread than I realised...

I wouldn't say a thing. If your friend is infatuated with this chap, she won't listen to you when you say something. She'll just be angry with you for insulting her boyfriend. The time to speak is when (and if...) she develops some doubts of her own.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I mean it makes a kind of sense; she and I haven't really been on good terms in a long time so she wouldn't listen to me alone anyway.

Either that or she'll just end up hating everyone who participated and become that much closer to her boyfriend because he's the only one who she still thinks she can trust. Other than what those two posted in their journals, I don't know anything about the situation here, but she obviously trusts him a whole lot if she's willing to get married to him. It would require some compelling evidence of misdeeds on his part to actually inspire a doubt in her mind.

Don't you have friends who said the same thing about your British boyfriend? That you were making a mistake, not doing the right thing for you. Did you listen to them? I'd assume not, to judge from your use of the present tense when describing the relationship, and from the other comments in this thread.

If you didn't listen, why should she? Don't tell me that it's because your friends were wrong, because that's exactly what Blue would think.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I did. When you consider that she didn't listen to her friends, doesn't that tell you something? It tells me that listening to friends isn't something that people do when they are in love. That's the whole of my point. I'm not trying to berate Lurker for anything.

In any case, it seems like this thread isn't entirely serious, so...

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

The fact I didn't realise this until after I made a post on the 2nd of April is not entirely to my credit.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?
