every day I understand a little more why "may you live in interesting times" is considered a curse
@goldengateblond Yep. Like saying "I'm bored" out loud.

@goldengateblond

Ah! The pretend Chinese Curse...

..."pretend" because for all the time I spent in China, nobody there had ever heard of it...

@goldengateblond I remember boring. Boring was not bad.
@goldengateblond Hah! In my childhood and teens I thought it was a really cool blessing. It's not.
