This is rumor control, here are the facts.

Got to work, everything is broken, and we've laid off the people who could fix it. This is the definition of ghetto.

On a possibly unrelated note, my e-mail has been down since late yesterday afternoon or so. Thusly, I am not seeing LJ replies, etc. If you need to call my attention to something, drop me a comment here, or drop me an email to my sekrit backup account [scorpio at seanbaby dot com]

You need to use a different word that means 'containing vast amounts of pus'

No kidding, it's too early in the morning to be imagining pimples on THOSE parts of her.

So what IS a different word that means 'containing vast amounts of pus'?

I always find 'pustulant' to be wonderfully evocative.

But dictionary.com says 'pustulant' means 'causing the formuation of pustules', not 'containing pus'. 'Pussy' doesn't even show up in the thesaurus of either online dictionary site I checked.
Hmmmm... There's gotta be something!

"Gene [Weingarten] is referring here to the fact that, at the end of his chat last Tuesday, he was describing some symptoms, and one of them was 'sores,' which Gene meant to describe as 'sores that are oozing pus,' except that, as a journalist trained to use words economically, he made 'oozing with pus' into the adjective 'pussy,' which looked PRETTY DARNED FUNNY modifying 'sores,' in the sense that EVERYBODY read it obscenely the first time. So, definitely, Gene, you should be fired."

A classic, classic moment in Weingarten's chats, which are priceless enough already.
