The definition does seem to be mainly about exasperation, which doesnt fit as a response to the comment above it. Nor to the initial post. And it's something that if not meant in that way, should have easily and quickly been clarified. When you know you are speaking your native slang to people who don't know your slang, you might want to clarify what was meant instead of just giggling it off. Especially knowing people might take it the wrong way, have to look it up and it seemed directed at someone you've had issues with in the past. The fact that you let it slide the way you did shows that you liked the idea of people not knowing what you really meant. When most of us are perceptive enough and know the history enough to figure it out. A kind person would have explained and not made the comment you did and ran off.

Use your big girl words. The passive aggressive cutse-y thing is really old and makes you look like an idiot.

Had it been about the initial post and if teasel's feelings mattered, I'd think it would've been pointed out right away. Instead you let it go and then your idiot boyfriend joined in.

to you teasel.

I'll hold back on saying what i'd really like to say.

& i can only base my comments on years of experience with said people and vibes. One member who is also adept at picking up on these things warned me that this can be a blessing and a curse.

The curse part is speaking up about it. Not everyone does.

I can't believe that that a comment I made directed to Randall's first post is being distorted as a reason to attack me based on assumptions.

I use that word often and it has never been a problem (Randall knows what it means) and when Juni quoted me and stated that she had to Google it, I was curious to what she found.

"Eish" does not mean exclaiming "sh*t".
Get your facts straight. I will also continue using my Afrikaans slang words as it is a part of me. They are not insulting words. I even started a thread here a while ago explaining what they mean. I mainly use them with Randall or those who engage with me often.

I can't understand how one comment was taken and used to accuse me of being passive aggresive towards Teasel. I was NOT replying to her at all, nor did I direct my post to her. Why is it that everytime I post something, I'm accussed of targeting Teasel?
Even my thread her about "don't steal my cake" was a problem! Teasel emailed me and accused me of posting it as a dig at her. How ridiculous. I did not reply to her and I do avoid her at all costs (including not replying to her posts even when she posts of my threads).

I have no beef or drama here with anyone. It's strange how the same people keep looking for a reason to have a go at me here and it's getting old. I've moved on a long time ago and you guys should do the same instead of reading into things as an excuse to start a fight.

Despite your nasty comments, I forgive you.
I can't live my life getting angry at nonesense. If you guys perceive everything I post as a dig then it's not my problem. It means you have a problem with me hence your reactions.

I guess Charmaine's signature can be a good lesson for me, too, since that's basically what's been happening to me for years now. First my sister's husband, then S (Taurus guy), then crap that happened here, then my sister and her husband, and everything they caused at home for me. And the crap that happens here, on and off. I have been tired of being treated like crap, based on a completely incorrect assumption - one that was made more than once, when I was never the one responsible. There have been passive-aggressive digs, like that signature, and that's what I was talking about in the thread in Sweet Peas.

Charmaine, many of us here can't believe the way our comments, or emails etc have been misinterpreted either.

I never saw the thread where you gave the interpretations of your native countries slang words, sorry. All we can go by is what's on the internet and past relations with certain people here.

I know you and teasel have had issues in the past and i felt you were, once again making a dig at her. If I was wrong, then I'm sorry.

Over the years you basically come here and post to one person and don't really take the time to connect with other people, so it's easy for certain people to read things the wrong way. Especially people that you've had problems with in the past.

I'm sorry if you can't understand how a comment made by you could be taken as being aggressive, but you have been aggressive to a few of us here over the years. So maybe I jumped the gun, but it's not out of nowhere there is reason for it.

I don't have beef or drama with anyone here anymore either. I just don't like phoniness. I've always thought you were a nice girl, though a bit naive and immature.

I wish you the best. I don't check in as often anymore. Next time i think you might be taking another jab at my friend I won't mention it and instead let it sort itself out.

I think I disagree.
I don't believe in maturity and I'll tell you why.

As you may know... human beings are not fruits, it is impossible to say "maturity" is a matter of time and age.

You can find a person as old as a full grown Galapagos Tortoise that:

• Still doesn't know how to have a conversation without using argumentative fallacies.
• is not considerate enough to apologise when make mistakes or when assuming something wrong.
• Manipulate others using their fears or doubts against them or just by taking advantage of what they ignore. In simple words, lack of morals.
• When confronted often play some kind of "victim role" by saying: "what are you talking about?", "you missed the whole point", "it got misinterpreted".
In simple words, pure evasive excuses.

And many many many many many many many more examples.

This behavior can only be product of inner fear and lack of self-esteem. At this point, I think most of people already know that fear in (99%) of the cases leads to anger.

If a person has fear, anger and lack of self-esteem, then how can you say this person is "mature" ?

Makes no sense.
Not computable

Having said that, I can conclude...

Seems like socially acceptable words being used to mask manipulative intentions. But I might be wrong of course

~ Oh,
I forgot...

Statistically speaking, the most naive people are the ones that follow dogmatic doctrines. ( And I use the word naive, only because I don't want to use the "ig" word. It sounds pretentious to me). And of course, the ones that blindly trust pharmacy without knowning that what they are taking may harm their bodies instead of 'healing' them.
=======================

~ You know,
I'd like to say...
~ it's only my opinion ~ ( to make it socially acceptable ~ Wahahaha ! )

But as I said,
That's statistically speaking
