naughty but nice

strange how mishearing can be so funny sometimes

This is funny. However on a more serious note would a dragonrider use that euphamism? For a non-dragonrider, sure. He doesn't have a dragon so if he's gong to oil his dragon he must mean somethng else. For a dragonrider to use it could and obviously did cause some, understandable in my opinion, confusion. In the pernese setting, I would be honored to assist any dragonrider in oiling his dragon and if it then turned out to be something like this, I would say, "Next time choose your words more carefully. You *do* have a dragon, you idiot. How am I supposed to know you weren't talking about actually oiling him?"

Anyway, that *was* hilarious. Thanks so much for sharing.

Soooo, a new fic in progress? Cool, can't wait.

Semantics, a tricky subject that has tripped up many a person, on and off Pern. I echo a question from an earlier reviewer, which story is this an outtake from? Short and sweet, I liked it!

O_O Mymymy can't wait to see what this is all about. _ Can't wait for more! Any eta?

Umm, OK. I'll be careful using that phrase from now on.

Just curious: which story was this deleted from?

Thanks for the laugh!
