MNSpeak: Talk

OMG! Fashionist Fracas @ 50th & France!

"Um," the helpmeet said, imperceptibly motioning to the back of the room, "she would like you to leave."

"Who would?" M.C. stammered, as if she'd just been dumped via Post It.

The clerk scurried to her manager. Mrs. Big floated towards M.C. as discreetly as possible. She bent low to whisper, "Ms. Glassman would like you to leave until she is done with her interview."

OMG! Like, who does S.G. think she is? Like, what trade secrets was she protecting anyway? Like, how to keep wearing last season's dress over and over? (Sorry! So mean!) Well, somebody needs to twitter this: S.G. isn't Anna Wintour! She's S.G.! And this is MN!

Sadly, no group going by the name "Freaky Three Way." I'm continually disappointed by the youth of America.

There are, however, a wealth of Freaky Girl/Gurls (primarily lady rappers), and many "Three Way" names, including but not limited to Three Way Plane, Three Way Gear, Three Way Mirror (rhymes), Three Way Tie, Three Ways Home, Three Wayy (rapper). There is also a group calling themselves, "Three Ways to Live Life," who self-identify as a Rock / R&B / Death Metal act, so they more or less have answered their own question.

Depends on your definition of crazy, Max. In my world, a crazy three way is one where one participant is banging his imaginary friend whilst the other two are too busy throwing the invisible snakes off the bed to engage in any actual freak-nastiness.
