I'll say something in chat only when I have something to say, and I'll subject it to *at least* the same level of forethought I use in everyday conversations, and I will try very hard to remember there are thousands of words available in any given situation and NONE of them ought to be "gah".

Heh. I was at an all-state honor band audition last night, and we band geeks ended up having to stand in line for about an hour because the stupid auditions were running quite late. But that's another story. The point is that we were all talking outside the audition room, and somehow we got onto the subject of fancy graphing calculators. In the course of the discussion, I mentioned that "TI-89s are the *bomb*!"

After realizing what I'd said, I commented, out loud, something to the effect of "Did I just say that?" Then I almost puked. :-p

And to think I picked that expression up from my acquaintances in the "real world", rather than on the internet...
