Okay, people¹, please stop using the phrase "a tad bit". That is not an expression! "A tad" means "a bit", so what you're really saying is "a bit bit". I dobn't know if this is wannabe-Britspeak or whatnot, but it drives me up the wall! *twitch

¹ And by "people" I mean people on various communities I read, not you lot, for the record. Don't hink I've ever seen anyone on my friendslist use that expression. Thank fuck.

I'm still waiting for, like, half the other art you tried to bribe me with! Including illustrations for the Hooker AU. :P

Okay, fine, I'll consider it. *pets poor Jean-Paul* I apologise in advance, honey.

My point exactly. He's going to be miserable because once again the guy he's in love with is sleeping with his sister. Poor guy.

Also, anywhere in the US South (from the Mason-Dixon line on down) you'll come across "a tad bit" -- it's just Southern slang, and you get used to it :D
