Are you Avicii?

I had to Google that so, no.
I'm not sure where I picked up the habit, it may have been from The Simpsons.

what about Pater and Mater?

 

[7 - No tomorrow]

People addressing their cousins using the term "cousin". Outside of fiction from the 19th century this should not be acceptable.

I think everyone does this

what about Pater and Mater?

I call my parents by their first names

I'm pretty sure everyone hates it

They don't. It's only people who are acutely aware that other people are reading the conversation and for some reason they feel a need to clarify their relationship with the owner of the page.

Which just seems silly to me.

But as I said..fuck the lot of them

I think they're clarifying that they're not some rando blow-in, they have history.
And for most people it's the only time they speak with their cousins. Certainly is for me.

And that they're not hitting on the person.
I can tell a 28-year-old she looks gorgeous or whatevs when she's my cousin.
It strips compliments of anything other than the intent.

what about Pater and Mater?

On occasion. I've found Mater comes more naturally than Pater, maybe that's just through (lack of) use.

My niece and nephew call each other Brother and sister.
It was cute for a bit, but it's getting a little Bates Motel,

no

It could have been the start of something beautiful.
How/why do these things happen anyway? I got a friend request off some American pensioner recently.

I think when you comment on something publically

Like I started a big fight on Mother Jones FB yesterday. Maybe he saw that.

about what?

 

[7 - No tomorrow]

about what?

It was just a comment on Hilary's logo

People only need a proxy space to have at it

 

[тхеодоре кацзынски]

Are you for or against the logo? I thought it quite good although I suspect it will age terribly. But who cares about that?

This was my point exactly.

 

[тхеодоре кацзынски]

Like you say, people just want to have a go. Assholes.
I think I'll start friend-requesting strangers.
