A teeny bit o' silly W/T goodness...

[Dumbsaint]

My accomplice, who wrote Willow's dialogue, has requested to be credited as "Mistress of the Universe." All tremble before her wrath.

[Set in a pizzeria in Sunnydale where W/T are enjoying some gooey, cheesy pizza goodness.]

Willow: I know this one spell... it makes food sing. It's sooo funny.

Tara: [frowns] That sounds VERY disturbing.

Willow: No, it's really entertaining. It dances and everything.

[Tara looks at her pizza with a wary, fearful expression. Puts it slowly back down on her plate, frowning]

Willow: My breakfast performed Cats this morning.

Tara: [blanches] I just went to the most frightening visual place I've been to since... well, since the last time I was in a room with Xander and Anya at the same time and Anya spoke. [looks at Will] I. Owe. You...

Willow: ...What?

Tara: [grins] Smoochies. [winks saucily]

Bint. Truly a great word. I shall use it in my very next fic.

Willow: Tara...what's a bint?

Tara: Come here, I'll show you...

[Dumbsaint]

No, no. We should BOTH use the word "bint" in EVERY fic we write from now on. For real. I frickin' love that word. Heehee.

But we should use it in new and creative ways, expanding the definition of the word. Or perhaps we should merely use it to replace words in our favorite Buffy quotes... such as...

Willow: We can come by between classes. Usually I use that time to copy over my class notes with a system of different colored pens, but it's been pointed out to me that that's, you know, insane.

Tara: I said 'binty.'

or...

Willow: That's me as a vampire?! I'm so evil, and skanky... and I think I'm kind of a bint.

Other suggestions?

OR

Take yer pick.

Willow: What do you see?
Tara: Willow bint

W: I'm nothing special
T: No, you are a bint

T: I got so lost
W: I will always bint you

WARNING!!!
the Mods may want to delete this reply,I don't know...
Rating:R-For mention of foul and abusive language.

My Chambers Twentieth Century Dictionary defines the word 'bint' as a girl,woman (with various shades of meaning)(orig. Arabic).
I don't know about other cultures,but here in the UK 'bint' is a pejorative when used to describe women,and I really do not think that Willow or Tara would use it in coversation with each other let alone anybody else...
It's bad enough that Spike has used the word,or that he gives TwoFingers to the audience in the opening titles of the show (that means f"*# off ! in case you didn't know),but,if you guys are going to use inappropiate language in your postings on Diff Colored Pens,at the very least I would expect a mention of rating...
****
Okay,sorry guys,but I feel very strongly about this,and had to say something...Rant over now...but,please,give a thought in future...

Emily, it's meant in fun. I'm British and I don't go around calling women 'bints' because I know how offensive it is.

However, I think you need to bear in mind that our American friends don't have the realm of swear words or crude language that we do back in the UK. Therefore, they find our little words most amusing. Believe me, I'm as careful about it as you are, in fact, the other day I had to prevent my gf from calling someone a 'wanker' because she thought it was a funny little word. I had to explain to her how offensive a word it really is.

Sorry if anything on the pens board offends you. But it's more the delight in using new words that appears here, rather than the desire to put anyone down.

cool!

[Dumbsaint]

Julia decides to demonstrate this playing with of new words, and walks up to Ruth, holding something behind her back.

Julia: Pick a hand. Any hand!

Ruth: Okay. I pick Willowhand. Gimme!

Julia first pouts, and then she begins to whine.

Julia: Come onnnn! Play right. Pick a hand.

Ruth: I already did, you whore. Where's my Willowhand?!

Julia squeals a squeal of abject indignation and bratty inisistence. Ruth sighs, deciding to humor the girl.

Ruth: Oh, alright. I pick your left hand.

Julia grins and produces from behind her back a huge, homemade, construction paper Valentine, complete with lacy red heart doily all around, and red and silver glitter sparkles. The card is mostly pink with big red block lettering. It reads: "Be mine, ya bint."

Julia: See? It's for you to give Deb in February. Isn't it great?

Ruth: Um. Thanks.

Ruth watches as Julia skips off, no doubt on her way to read something nefarious. Ruths scratches her head in consternation, thinking that she really ought to scold Xita for inviting Julia to a certain flung panty related Yahoo group. She turns the card over and chortles as she sees what is written on the back. It says, in tiny little letters. "The best things in life are... pink."
