In one of her songs, Amy Winehouse asks, "What kind of fuckery is this?" I LOVE the usage, but, alas, I think it's a form more appropriate to Brits. This knowledge doesn't stop me from hoping it will come naturally to me some day, though.
Perfect! I am soooo stealing this. I hope Rachel reads this, too.
Do you have a favorite mashup up you care to share? I love seeing what stuff other people find on the web.
The 80s technopop music mention reminded me of Strawberry Switchblade: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x7QPBzAJ_io
Are you down for Adam Ant?
Ah, Adam Ant. That takes me back to high school. Excellent.
I like "fuckery" too, and wish I was a Brit at times. I also like it when Brits say "lovely" for just about anything, such as food, personality, etc.
"Don't drink, don't smoke. . . ."
"Mashup"?
"Lovely" AND "brilliant."
