    Who are you calling a diet?? :angry:

    I would suggest not doing both at the same time. Its going to be rough. Good luck!

    Good luck. It's hard to give up both comfort food and cigarettes at the same time. What's your strategy for dealing with stress?

    Been watching this since the beginning, promising myself not to comment, but this thread is ridiculous.

    1. Sorry my over sensitivity, but the title can be read in MANY ways. Personally, I read "I want diet buddies, no gays allowed" the first time I saw it (and I've heard from others who say the same). Use the word in a post if you want to talk about cigs, not in a title with no context.
    2. Yes, I'm aware of the non-US meaning of the word. Considering they the Brits and Aussies (among others) are aware of the US connotations of the word, the OP should have known better and showed a bit more sensitivity.
    3. The fact that there's a lot of people who tagged just for the giggles is equally gross.

    Has anyone even noticed that the OP has made ONE post, and this is how she chooses to introduce herself to MFP?


    Oh, and btw, just for the record: We taste better than cigs, and we don't cause lung cancer. Just sayin'. :smokin:

    Ha one of my English friends told me a story about when he was in New York City and stopped a guy on the street to ask, "do you have a spare *kitten*?" Apparently the guy almost punched him.

    There are a lot of Americans who don't know the other meaning of the word, so hopefully you tread carefully.

    It's actually a very, very common term in Europe.

    Is "*kitten*" used to mean "gay" there as well or is it more commonly associated with cigarettes? Just curious

    Cigarettes.

    We're aware of the US meaning, but if you say the word *kitten* in the UK the first thing we think of is a ciggie. And it probably lacks the shock value here - rather like your fanny pack which will sound innoccuous to you, but does make us do a double take when we hear it! So a thread with that title has no shock value to us.

    ..what does fanny pack mean to you guys? I've never known there was a double meaning for it.

    It's just the first bit, refers to the female genital area. It's not as crude as some terms but you wouldn't let it slip in front of your mum.

    What you call fanny packs, we call bum bags.

    And, if a Brit asks you if they can bum a *kitten*, don't be alarmed.

    Well, the muffin top is the flesh that squeezes over the waistband of your jeans.
