Elastic is not a nounFollow

Elastic is an adjective, why do people talk about "elastic" as if it is a substance, it is a property, elastic bands are bands that are elastic, they are not bands made out of elastic.

Language is based on USAGE, not some arbitrary set of rules that **** retentive idiots adhere to out of an overwhelming need to feel superior to others in some fashion.

this hot chick in spandex ran her hands on my pants and pulled me into this room

totem was standing there with a big black *****, smiling like he just enjoyed licking the business end of the massive meat in his hand

the hot chick laughed at totem and slapped him. she did me right there and i then i left

totem said he wishes he could do her like that, but he is gay and can not get it up unless he had his big black *****

Why do little kids who talk about sex always sound like they've never actually done it?
