Elizabeth- While I'm fond of squid, I may be coming around to your point of view. Pants is such a versatile word. And it comes up so much more often, giving so many more opportunities to say pants. I must say pants several times each day. Squid is more of a specialty word, not one you usually say everyday. (Even me.) So thank you for sharing your squid tale. It is a treat.

I’m not sold on squid being as funny a word as pants, but I did want to share with you a kid’s song I was forced to listen to this morning. It’s called Billy the Squid and is all about an undersea outlaw. Anyway, my favorite line? “He stole from the selfish/And gave to the shellfish.”

Actually, I learned the word "twee" from one of my guilty pleasures: Terry Pratchett's Hogfather. The main character is a governess who scolds her charges for being deliberately twee by lisping. Huh. I just found out that "Hogfather" is being made into a TV show. Here's a tie-in.

Simply irresistable.

I think I actually learned the word twee from a photography magazine John was reading. In a critique of a photo that was, well, a bit twee. Might have been a year or two ago. But it is such a good word that we've both taken to using it often since. When did you first meet the word? And, ya know, I think you can put html links in the comments. At least, John has done so. (And I don't think he has any special powers.) So I'll give it a try. Pants Yell! (That seems a bit like a battle cry. Spoon!)

In my ongoing search for twee indie pop (was I the person who taught you the word twee, by the way?) I went to see a band called Pants Yell! this summer. I found that the band name sounded so silly that I couldn’t really tell anyone about them. Maybe not the best marketing strategy. Anyway, they still sounded a little rough around the edges.

Can I put html links in the comments? If so, I could have included a link to the Pants Yell! website.
