Grits

[lilyinchains]

I like grits. I can't eat them much. Looked at them the other day and realized grits look like something I've already chewed and spit back up. I guess that's why I put raisins in them. So, I know for sure that I've already been there, done that

Maybe we should explore this Roman thing... it sounds interesting. o.O

I'll remember you said that...

You remember everything else I've ever said. Steel trap.

uhhh...

Upon further reflection, perhaps I should get some clarification before I say that. You said that with a bit too much...hmmm... imagined gleeful handrubbing. *lol*

Ya think I'd know better, where you're concerned, Sir. (Hell, where lily is concerned too ;> )

Lily says she's the factota.

(Look it up under "factotum.")

Actually, it sounds more like a different position than the one lily holds... I've been known to be incorrect before.

Actually, I'd learned it as, "Chief slave of a household." I may have been misinformed. I was 19 years old at the time.

I think the modern idea of "factotum" is a head employee, a general servant, or one with general duties. As I learned it and I am sure you learned it the term refers to the head slave of a Roman household. I see the modern translation as being fairly accurate, minus the slave part of course...however, employee...slave, some might argue they are the same thing. :)
