Re: locations, nationalities, and curses: Whoops! I hadn't a clue there. As for me, when I get colorful I'm an odd mix of extremely geeky references, a couple of different dialects of English from as many time periods, and another language or two, depending. Chances are if I break out the multilingualism, I'm either furious or making a point. Possibly both.

Hmm. I actually am one of those people who'd sooner sweeter booze than something godawful bitter. I've got at least one friend who's grossed out by that fact. Oh well, her loss. :)
