It was either an english mistake, or Freudian slip.

Hey Hey HEY!!
Well I want to know where "NUENDO" is ...

Especially after somebody says "SEX U AL IN NUENDO"

Or as floatation devices in the case of a water landing!

And why do they call it a 'water landing'? I am sure that planes are not meant to land on water (excluding seaplanes of course). I think 'water landing' is airline speak for 'rapid uncontrolled decent into the ocean'

I don't want sound too insensitive but they don't call it 'into the side of a mountain landing' do they?

Last flight i went on (when i was 15) was from detroit USA to england. i was waiting for the "if we need to make a water lading" speach just so i could laugh and imagin the flight atendents tell us we are about to be torn apart by 20-foot swells.....God how i love "Fight Club".

^^The first confirmed photo of Lacero. Niiiiiice. ;)



Yeah, the "Hot" description is a bit off. I don't have a better description, but I just don't agree with that one.

And to me, there's pretty, cute, and hot. A girl could be pretty without being hot at all (no sexual desire for her), or cute.

And #1 (Jessica Simpson) isn't cute at all.

I wasn't saying Jessica Simpson was cute, I was saying she was hot. The type of girl that fits into the description i gave. i.e. would not care to talk to her later. Katie Holmes was my picture of "Cute."

While I don't fully agree on the 'hot' description I think that cute and pretty are more closely related than anyone has mentioned yet.

Cute to me is like a girl-next-door, best-friends-sister kind of thing. If you weren't sexually attracted to her you might take her under your wing as a lil' sister (but since you are sexually attracted to her, you can never EVER EVER refer to her as anything sounding like 'sis' because that's weird). Pretty is more of a step down from hot with no other special features, i.e. not that nice girl next door.

I've never understood what "girl next door" is supposed to mean. Is she cute, but not someone you want to hook up with? Think of her like a sister? What's the deal?

Well my understanding, which could be well off of popular opinion, is that 'girl next door' is more of a 'best friend i could see myself with' type person. Think Donna on That 70's Show (but cuter usually :rolleyes: ) or a hot chick in your neighborhood that you secretly might like but would rarely outwardly pursue because she lives next door. Something like that....at least to me.

I think the GND thing is more easily seen then explained, perhaps someone else can shed some light on the subject. I'm not good at describing stuff like this :eek:

Maybe my problem is that growing up there were never any girls next door to me.
