Scotch (adjective) Puns

So I (23F) had a hard day at work. I got off work before my bf (26M) came home and wanted a drink. Rifled thru our liquor cabinet and found some scotch. Didn’t think much of it and in the 4-5 hours before my bf came home, I had 3 glasses.

Bf comes home. Sees the bottle of scotch on the counter. Loses it. He won’t tell me how much the scotch was but says it was over 500 dollars. And I drank 3 glasses. He apparently had been saving that for a special occasion (he hadn’t told me, or mentioned it, it wasn’t in a box it was just sitting on the shelf with the rest of our liquor). Apparently the scotch was aged 20+ years and I mixed it with coke. He’s beyond furious and devastated. I’ve promised to get him a new bottle but I’m definitely going to have to save up for it. Fml.

TLDR: I drank my bf’s 20+ year aged scotch by mixing it with coke. It was over $500. I now have to figure out how to afford to replace his bottle.

ETA: bf has calmed down. It was apparently a bachelor party gift for a guy where he’s best man. I’m going to replace the bottle and he is going to help and we’re going to keep the opened bottle for ourselves.

ETA since people keep asking me: the scotch was dalwhinne 30 year. Retail price for us is $800

Update: this has massively blown up, I can hardly keep up with the comments. I think y’all broke my Reddit app bc it was down for 20 minutes or so. Bf and I are fine. He’s asleep on the couch in a mini food coma. We both apologized to each other, had a glass neat and now we’re snoozing. For everyone calling my bf a tool or whatever, he admits it was dumb to put it in the cabinet. We have a very happy relationship and we kissed and made up after we both cooled off.

I've been a firm fan of East Bay Ray since I bought Bedtime for Democracy in 1990 or there abouts. His frenetic, surfing on speed, jangly madness was intimidating to me at first. I later found his playing to have a lot of humour.

Edit: Honorable mention for Yoyoyoshie from Otoboke Beaver for the same reasons I appreciate EBR.

But not so for iron which is quite ironic.

I've had men get defensive and come up with some dumb reasons to justify why they say females instead of women. So bringing up the grammar is a total checkmate.

It also makes it clear that it is okay to use the word female, so long as it is used as an adjective. It's normal to say "a female judge" and it sounds bizarre to say "a woman judge."

Bar man says "no worries, but why the big pause?"

Polar bear says "Oh, I've always had these"

Just brunched at Stubborn Mule, now walking Lake Eola there is Thirsty Husky coffee. What’s your favorite [Adjective] + [Animal] restaurant in Central Florida?

what makes it different from "김치는 좋아" or "저는 김치를 좋아해" ?

I'm kinda confused, or maybe I just don't really get the whole concept of showing and telling?

Anyways, the advice about using adjectives sparingly seems reasonable to me. However, there are published books I've read that used adjectives. They used it a lot. Even when it's a situation that will take effect on the plot, the author would just write it as "He's angry–..." rather than writing something that's "showing".

Like, is that lazy writing? Or is it okay? I can use adjectives too right?

I keep seeing posts, memes, social media referring to people as "sweaty" (ex. https://www.reddit.com/r/shittydarksouls/comments/s704xb/who_wins_in_a_race/) but as far as I can tell it isn't meant literally as in perspiration. I've also heard it coming up in podcasts referring to movies, people in the news, etc.

What does it mean in this context and where did it come from?

Here is my sentence and word I'm having problems with:

'What remains a striking quality of specific research outlined in the introduction is retelling a political fiasco with a palmy/fulsome tone.'

Palmy or fulsome is the best I could come up with. Maybe you have other ideas? I'm also happy to change the sentence to fit the perfect word.

What I want to say is: this political event in the past was by no means what a lot of people make it out to be. Actually, the people involved in event completely failed to achieve what they wanted. Yet when this event is retold by historians we are given the impression as though the event was a great success.

I write about the historiography at length before this sentence. Here, I'd just like one word that captures the idea of an exaggerated tone.

That’s all.

Hi all, how would I say royal blue rose in French? Is it "rose bleu roi" or "rose bleu royal"? In the case of two adjectives (but it's actually one color) how do I conjugate blue and royal?

Thanks!

The scotch egg is made up of: Sausage, Egg, and Bread, three of the most important ingredients of the mighty full English, so why do my fellow Brits judge me when I grab a Scotch egg for an easy breakfast?

I personally believe that the scotch egg needs a rebranding into a breakfast food to increase its popularity and start raking in profits for big egg.

Am I insane or simply a radical visionary?

I often see people use autistic as an adjective, and i get downvoted a lot when i ask them to please not use the word like that. I just want to make them understand that it hurts sometimes. Am i wrong? Should we do this to spread awareness?

Came back today with a new account after dropping the game ages ago, and got a ton of free rolls in the mail. They all have names like "Ultra double super Jeff" and I have no idea who's strong and who isn't.

What do the pile of confusing adjectives even mean, and how can I use them to know who's worth using?

For me, It goes like this; I was in my early 20's and on a whirlwind tour of Europe and the UK with my friend Krystal, who was living in London at the time.

We hired a car and drove up to Scotland. I had recently decided that Scotch was my new thing after progressing from Bourbon and Coke, to southern Comfort on ice to red wine (BTW, more than a passing interest in red wine is deceptively expensive). I had landed on my new "I'm so sophisticated" drink of choice, Scotch Whisky! But not just any Scotch, single malt Scotch. Fancy! I figured it was a right of passage since my grandparents were Scottish (for the record they were Scottish, but I'm Australian)

One afternoon, I announced to Krystal that we were going to a place where I would be able to indulge my "passion" for Scotch, a renowned Whisky bar in Edinburgh. Yes, I had done my research and finally, I would be able to flaunt my sophistication in the birthplace of my favourite tipple (which I had only begun drinking without the addition of post-mix Coke roughly four weeks beforehand).

We arrived at the bar in the early afternoon, I scanned the empty room, breathed in the culture and the ambiance of the setting and strode over to the bar.

The bartender heaved a despairing whole body sigh and asked, "WHut can I getcha?

I, who was not to be thrown off by the personification of an eye roll standing in front of me, said in my biggest, most confident voice, "I'll have a Scotch, please!"

The sullen barkeep exhaled slowly, looked me dead in the eye and announced in the most menacing Edinburgh drawl, "it's called WHisk-eh heeeere".

Well, fuck me sideways, I was so bloody embarrassed! How could I be so naive?! I was a seasoned whisky lover after all. Nevertheless, I took it on the chin and composed myself, confident that I would be redeemed from this teensy indiscretion.

"Oh, of course! I'll have a Whisky, thanks". This time, I had nailed it, embracing the local lingo and winning hearts and minds.

The gentleman curled his lip and barred his teeth as he said, "which WHisk-eh do yer want then?"

I scanned the wall of bottles behind the man who I was now actively avoiding eye-contact with. It looked like any other bar, but I didn't recognise most of the bottles. Knowledgeable and worldly as I was hoping to become, I was confident I could fake it 'til I made it, and enquired with confidence, "well, what whisky do you have?"

With a contemptuous glare, he gestured petulantly behind himself, one flailin

This is a great video that Andrew over at The Headphone Show just posted.

Not only is the concept funny because it takes the popular idea of headphone tier lists and subverts it by rating audiophile adjectives instead of headphones, but it’s also a very informative video for anyone who has ever wondered about all these weird terms audiophiles throw around to describe sound.

I heard it once whilst listening to an interview of a musician discussing the writing style of another bands music , i cannot find the video of this interview anywhere and i have not heard this word since, however its a perfect word when discussing lyrical writing styles and techniques used by songwriters and its really bugging me that i cannot remember it

and its definitely not alliteration, assonance or consonance Can anyone please help me out ?

But not so for iron... which is ironic.
