"open until midnight or later"... NOT

I kind of want to sue Sonic for false advertising.

I really wanted a cherry-cranberry limeade from Sonic tonight. Like, about 11:20p.m., as I was loading the dishwasher. Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaanted it. Confirmed the kidlet wanted something too, so we loaded up and headed out...got to Sonic about, I dunno, 11:40(ish).

THEY WERE CLOSED. *sigh* I know this isn't an epic tragedy or anything, but man, I really wanted one. *sulk*

Also, someone please tell me how in the hell the following...groups of letters (I cannot call them words. I just can't.)...came into being? Because if this is how our language is evolving, I want off the bus now:

"smexing" - What the hell? I mean, I know it's spun off sex, but. WHY.
"wallies" - Again, I know the usage is meaning "wallpapers", but. *points above*
"piccies" - Every time I see that, I think 'species', at first.

There are others, but those are the ones that annoy me the most. To give you some idea of how much they annoy me? Think "Kim's reaction to using 'drabble' to mean anything but 100 words". Yeah.

Wally, singular, is Australian vernacular for idiot. So you'd say, "You wally!" to your mate if he was being an idiot, or, "You bunch of wallies!" to your mates, plural, if they were doing the same thing.

AREN'T YOU GLAD YOU KNOW ME, KIM? *BEAMS*

I'M VERY GLAD I KNOW YOU, GIN! *SNUGS YOU*

And--*snerk* Now I know that, about wally = idiot, one of these days I might lose it and toss that out there *g*
