The word is paskaläjä  . Normally means pile of shit but if affectionally said can mean that little shit too :D. In Finnish we don't have much words (maybe a hundred or so?) starting with B and they all are loaned from other languages (Swedish, Russian, English etc). Especially older people don't make much difference with the P or B, they tend to say P. And Finnish P is a bit softer than English P. Ah, thank you! My children haven't forgotten Grandma's little term of endearment. Now, I have to go back and spell it properly in their baby books.
4msrmyn, I think you could add some of the love words in my earlier posts in Finnish too to their baby books  |

Aww, Misha ...  Sneaking in during a busy work day to reiterate that pretty much ALL human communication is some combination of implied meaning and perception. I mean, even if we were sitting next to Adam when he tweeted, what's the likelihood that he'd say, "And now I'm going to tweet this and by this I mean that  ..." Communication is chock full of subtext, sarcasm, humor, body language, inflection, etc., etc. Online, we can't rely on tone of voice or body language, so we have created ways to communicate the subtleties we are trying to imply. We do it with emoticons and ~quotes, phrasing and by intentionally misspelling words like yer and sekrit to convey a wink and a smile. Almost all humor is a matter of interpretation. Some people get the joke; some people do not. Some people may get it and not think it is the least bit funny while others are rolling on the floor. Some people think they get it, but they might have interpreted it completely different than the teller intended. It doesn't matter unless a huge amount of misunderstanding happens. We analyze and try to interpret Adam's meaning with tweets and interviews all day, every day. "Wait, he didn't say sleeve! Maybe he's changed his mind ??" "Okay, when he says October, November does that mean Black Friday or maybe a summer single ..??" "He said he doesn't know any Finnish. How is that possible ..??" I don't think anyone has ever said, "This is absolutely what he means." And even if they did, it would still be a matter of opinion. Everything we discuss here is opinion and a disclaimer prior to and after every statement shouldn't be necessary, IMO Obviously, no one knows for sure. I doubt even Leila would be able to swear with unequivocal conviction that she knows EXACTLY what he meant by that tweet, although I'm sure she has a very strong hunch ... |

Where did the Gaga toplesss rumor come from. Does anyone know? In that video, with Mariachis, she is clearly not topless. Maybe someone got the BD party mixed up with that pic of her and the BD cake from her concert at Staples, where her top is just celophane wrap??? A pic was tweeted. I saw it. She was definitely topless and I'm quite sure she was at La Cita. I just glanced at it, but I don't think there was any cellophane involved. |

For Perez to insinuate possible "substance" use was really hitting below the belt. Luckily nobody stared running with that or it could have been worse. I hate the fact that now he probably has to worry about getting tipsy in public now, it just seems like he he loves going out to clubs and trying to keep a little part of his pre Idol activities alive and Perez just took part of that away. With this this whole brouhaha , one thing I am am almost certain of. If this had happened at one of Adam's parties about someone else or one of his friends or acquaintances was being made fun of in the press, Adam would have tweeted out something kind to or about that person. We saw him do it when Xtina was being raked over the coals, when Bruno Mars was in the news for his drug bust Adam tweeted something nice and numerous times just sticking up for others when nobody else was. I didn't expect Gaga to say anything because it doesn't seem her style but it might have been nice for Jake to tweet something nice and innocuous just to help put the whole "All the cool kids think Adam was an ass." to rest or at least make him feel a little better about it. I'm not concerned though, I think Adam has a lot of good Karma built up. If nothing else he can look himself in the mirror and be proud of who he is and how he treats others. I'm "feeling" all of your post, but especially the end. Because, in the end, that's pretty much what matters. |
