So do it yourself for $1.50.  

But why should I suffer with a bad nail job just to save like $40 or whatever twice a month? If I was going to do that, I'd just take it all off and have nothing on.

Mani pedi I learned quick. Old lady is used a lot by my Willamette valley hippies. Kickstand has now been added to my Swedish -murican lexicon.  You may be entitled to royalties should I  publish.

There is a lot i should get Royalties on.

 

I invented the term Tds, which the media now uses

My wife got her nails done once in the past 3 years.  Salon was full of gay Pakistani men.  Who do their best to pretend they're NOT gay because of their religion.  Sad, sad days.

A good friend of mine (Japanese-American) once told me that only rugs and packets of ramen noodles should be referred to as "Oriental." 

 

Isn't there a line in the Big Lebowski about this? Both my ex AND my fiance are obsessed with that movie and I have had to listen to it on in the background like 75 times.

I tried to Mansplain to a group of pinay women who use the term, why it was not pc. They thought it was stupid

I think (from what I understand from speaking with my friend) is that it is not okay in America, and that Asian-Americans generally avoid using it, but people who are actually from Asian countries have less of an issue with it.

I use the term to refer to the geographic location from whence these talented ladies originate. I do believe this is still proper usage.

 

Your ex has good taste in cinema.

I'm sticking with the rugs/Top Ramen usage, but thank you.

 

My ex not only liked Coen Brothers movies, he also had a "well-curated" collection of "behind the adults only curtain" cinema that he thought he had excellent taste in!

Well-curated is the only way to have and manage any collection. Otherwise you're just a hoarder.

Oh wow, I missed this earlier. That is sad.  I don't see taking care of yourself as a particular sin for a man though I get why it's seen as such in certain cultures/religions. If a man can go get his hair cut, or get a shave (before my ex started growing a beard, he used to like to get a straight razor shave every so often for the pampering), why not get a manicure or pedicure or a spa treatment or a massage? If our bodies are meant to be temples, we should keep them clean and well-scented.

We have better things to do with our manly time.

Furthermore, these activities are almost as pretentious as getting one's shirt cuffs monogrammed.

I don't see any problem with any of it. What woman doesn't like a man who actually bothers to keep himself clean? Al does his own nails, to be fair, but he has done a few couples massages with me. They're really lovely experiences, and I only had to drag him to the first one.

@Boris Farage, did you end up getting that pen monogrammed in the end?
