One of those times you want to go "STFU!!"

[fredericks]

I'm listening to my father rant on in the way he usually does towards my youngest brothers. I'm figuring he's saying, from what I can decipher from this rambling yell/earnest speech session, that my brothers should look to make themselves "superstars" in basketball, otherwise they're just being a waste. He keeps talking about basketball to them, but he never gets out on the court and demonstrates anything. He's played casually, but he never played on a traveling team or what have you. And he isn't that good. So how can he even try the dressdown speech? Really now. I thought my brothers played basketball because they loved it, not because they necessarily had any serious aspirations to become the next Jordan or Garnett. He's going to suck all the enjoyment out of something that should be fun, like the way he managed to suck all the enjoyment out of me playing music. Damn. He's such a twat. He needs to go back to work NOW, before I *really* go insane.

i actually do say "stoofu" although when i do my friend will argue me down on the fact that there aren't any vowels present for me to say it that way.

brothers *are* annoying.

Hey! Great idea!

"Stoofu!", is it? I'd try that, except that if I was really infuriated the person could pretty much tell the intent of my word, no matter how weird/fictional it is and would still get pissed.

I'll bring it up in casual convo from now on though. Look at you, introducing weirdness to the American colloquialism. *grin*
