Present day setting questions

I'm okay with cussing if it's not done so much that it detracts from the storyline. By referencing social websites' chatter, you're dating your writing. If this works, use it. If, however, all that you've written is texting lingo, I'd use it for kindling.

Hmmm. I must be low class. lol

Hmmm. I must be low class.

I don't think so. I haven't noticed that about you, Tinman.

[The Tinman]

Leslee. Thanks. But you just haven't seen me sitting out on my front porch step,s wearing my favorite sweat-stained wife beater and drinking Mad Dog out of a paper bag lol.

[C Bets]

Mad Dog - oh my. Now, you're just dating yourself.

[leslee]

He dates himself? I guess he is low class!

[C Bets]

LOL - there's another name for that, also.

The penguins would call it self abuse, and it would be a matter for the confessional. Otherwise, the "abuser" would go to hell. Or, at the very least, blind.

[leslee]

Hairy palms.

[The Tinman]

Oh, come on. You know all you women secretly want a guy like that lol. What's more romantic than sharing a bottle of Mad Dog on the front porch?
