slipjig3I present the following in the interest of making public an addition to the English lexicon that should prove most useful in the continuance of daily affairs:
As you likely know, it is not unusual in geeky circles for overt sexual activity to be discussed via coy and/or clever euphemisms. Often such euphemisms are followed by a verbal wink of some sort, such as "...if you know what I mean," to be sure there is no misinterpretation of the fact that "we did some studying of our own" actually means "I banged her like the bass drum in an Independence Day parade." This, however, takes time, and can sometimes upset the narrative flow of the tale in progress.
Some time ago,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
figmentj, in the interest of brevity, came up with the term "BWIMF" (pronounced "bwimf"), which stands for "By Which I Mean Fucking." In practical terms, it means, "The last bit of innuendo I just said isn't explicit enough regarding the involvement of penises and vaginas, so here ya go." This has proven immensely versatile, in such situations as:
* "After the show he and I going to go get coffee. BWIMF."
* "Why don't you turn off the computer and come sit by me? BWIMF."
* "Jesus H. Christ on a pontoon boat, the neighbors kept me up all night partying. BWIMF."
* I sure could use a backrub. BWIMF."
* "They're dating. BWIMF."
You get the picture. And so, having served us well in our conversations, we release BWIMF in to the wild. Wear it in good health, my friends.

The Force is strong with this one.
I like it.
