Good Omens chatfic:
Aziraphale: “Do you want to see the new West End musical in the perineum between our holiday and the fete in Tadfield?”
Crowley: “The wot??”
Aziraphale: “The new musical? The one that’s based on the story of Job?”
Crowley: “No, I remember that. It’s going to be a disaster. I meant what did you call the time period?”
Aziraphale: “The perineum- you know, the time between two things”
Crowley: *vaguely imitating The Princess Bride* “You keep using that word. I don’t think it means what you think it means.”
Aziraphale: *smugly* “I’m sure that it does. It’s what the week between Christmas and New Years is called.”
Crowley: *cackling* “…that was a prank!! I can’t believe it became a Thing!”
Aziraphale: “*You* are responsible for this?” *pause and then trying to hide his amusement* “I always wondered how that body part became associated with that time of year.”
Crowley: *with some glee* “It appears you’re trying to be responsible for it expanding!”
Aziraphale: “Fine! I shall use ‘interim’, if that meets your approval?”
Crowley: *with a hint of sarcasm and a lot of fondness* “You’re an angel, I don’t think you can do anything wrong.”
****Inspired by David Tennant using the word “perineum” twice within a couple weeks to refer to a time period. ****
This is the first occurrence: (for context: right before this, the hosts talked about a brand of boxer shorts, that Jamie Oliver recommended, called Saxx)
I did confirm with a British friend, that ^^ that is apparently a Thing. This was the second occurrence, which I don’t think is 😂😅:
