Attention All Killer Muffin Lovers here at Lit!

Purty is probably the most common American example of metathesis, a linguistic process in which two adjacent sounds are reversed in order. Metathesis in English often involves the consonant r and a vowel, since the phonetic properties of r are so vowellike. For example, the word third used to be thrid, and bird, brid. By the same process, English pretty often came to be realized as purty in regional speech. Most such words stabilized because of the influence of printing and the resultant standardized spelling, but purty for pretty has survived in regional American dialects.
 
Thanks for the reminder Todd...

I needed to add Tatoes to the shopping list.

Ps. I agree about the purty ass.

Dang: interj. Used to express dissatisfaction or annoyance.; n. The least valuable bit; a jot.
 
She has a pretty ass, huh? Sounds mighty tasty to me, but think I might of missed those pics. You holding out on us, Dixon???

C'mon man, you gotta share the wealth!
 
KM's purty ass.

Tatas.

Nutella.

I'm starting to get the hang of this.
 
LOL i can't say i've seen her ass but from what i hear, would surely like to;)
 
It will mess up the action

Well, I'm from Kentucky, and we don't put Nutella on our guns, I can tell you that.
 
... nice ass, good tatas (did'ja see 'em in the "for real" pic? wow!), damn fine brain. Yeh, yeh, yeh. All you guys are missing her most outstanding characteristic, though.

She's wonderful.

Really.

Not like a little cute kitty, no.
Not like a puppy or a big bouquet of your fave flowers or a good deed done specifically for you. No, she's not wonderful like any of those things.

She is, however, one of the most highly principled people on this board. She's honest. She's talented. She's a *good* person; one can feel it seeping from every word she says, no matter the scorn and/or anger and/or heated disgust the words are couched to convey.

KM is just cotton-candy wonderful when you scrape off the irascibility.
You know it, she knows it, we all know it's true.
:cool:

cymbidia, I agree, from my regrettably limited experience. I have been a KM fan from the get go. She doesn't fool me for a second, and I'm not scared of the grape kool-aid, either. I was too embarrassed to say it, so I fell back on Bootie and Tatas. I was sincere about the Nutella, though.

That's only cuz you're still high on the stuff, still licking your lips, still sucking it out of your moustache.

You *gotta* learn to pace yourself with Nutella.
It's dangerous in the hands of those with low will-power.
;)
 
I like her for her quick wit and spectacular mind :) Of course it helps with the threat of the gun :p

Psst (talking behind Killermuffin's back) "She's a sweetie, her bark is worse than her bite"

It's all the nutella she eats that keeps her smooth, sweet and really nice to eat. :p Not that I know mmm I'm just guessing!

Mischka? Am I missing something or are you now Lit's resident dictionary? :)

From my first day at Lit I've admired KM. I imagine it will always be so.

I find KM one of the best elements of Lit as well. I was just in an odd mood yesterday (ok, actually for over a week now - hence the av), and I was looking up words at dictionary.com when this thread was posted. I had never looked up purty or dang before, and found the results of interest.
 
Mischky

I like your av. I thought it (definition thing) was a running joke or something. Sue me. I'm blonde.

Should we start a KM fan club? What would we send to members? Stickers of KM's butt? Nutella samples?
 
*turns beet red and sheepishly backs out of thread*

Um. I was, ah, um, looking for the bathroom. Yeah...
