Beej, my boyfriend just called me a whore, and he made me cry. Can you please, teach him a lesson...?
A little name callin' is okay when it's an actual decision made between two people, but as a put down or insult? Nah. Not cool.
I can teach him all sorts'a lessons, from a permanent fear of the dark to how it feels to be fed feet first to a Sandworm. You can pick or dealer's choice. I'll be there to give you a shoulder to cry on afterward baby and be your rebound.
