archaisms abound in ye olde halifaxe-towne
today (technically yesterday) i heard some lady use the word "gracious" in actual casual conversation. maybe it's because i come from a place where nobody's particularly gracious, but the word itself seems awkward to me; i have no problems saying "ain't" & "y'all," & as large as my vocabulary is, my diction is utter crap. "gracious" just doesn't lend itself well to mangling.

That's funny...the other day I actually used the word "gracious" in a sentence. I believe it went a little like this:
"Oh, THAT's really motherfucking gracious, you fucktard douchebag"
(said to the husband after he did something obtuse. Again.)
