“The answer is no” – is regarded as problematic. No means no

Blimey. Just looked up the lyrics for My Sharona and your right – its all a bit suss. Ive heard this song a hundred times more than I ever wanted to, but never bothered listening to the lyrics – figuring its […]

My current fav – “totes inappropes” – which I use daily
