I had a boyfriend when I was thirteen who used to say "and such" at the end of everything. In the end I couldn't stand it any more and gave him the push. I hadn't realised that my ability to be irritated by words (see early threads about pet peeves) would lead me to spend so much time with you guys. Here is a rather sad juvenile site on pet peeves. Just see how bad it could get if you put on paper every minor irritation in your life as these people did: http://www.gargaro.com/peeves.html

Swedish mama???
In what context? This is a new phrase for me. I would look it up on Onelook, but I have a gut feeling it wouldn't be there.

It *best not be there. It is a phrase of mine own invention and says something rather scatological about a person many believe to have supernatural powers.
