gosh what is this glee that everybody likes! im going to try and see it.

hm...i think there is no word, since it is an informal/inappropriate subject and avoided in formal situations? discussing body etc is usually seen as inappropriate. but if it was like a description of a crime, i guess the scientific terms would be used perhaps, such as "victim's rectum" XDDDD

it's an amazing yet stupid and totally shitty tv series. i love it to bits and will fight for it till i die and after. it's about school's glee club, each episode has musical parts which is AMAZING.

and rofl, rectum. but i don't mean INSIDE, i mean OUTSIDE XD and yeah, you don't discuss this formally but for example, doctors, during some kind of conference. they don't say "one of the symptoms of yet to be named disease is an immense pain in a person's ass" XDD

lol wifie u're making other watch glee

harlekin is that harlekin from the chan? she says rectum ..if she'd say anus i'd say she's harle.

are u going to write formally about someone's ass? google for some instructions where ass is involved and u'll get the formal therm.

blame my brother. if he didn't watch "how i met your mother" in my ex room, i wouldn't go crazy about it and then i wouldn't go crazy about barney and neil patrick harris. if i didn't go crazy about nph, i wouldn't youtube him singing and i wouldn't find that he was a cameo in one of glee's episodes. then i wouldn't check this goddamn show. it's all my bro's fault.

and yes, that's her. say hi.

lol, i'm not but i've been wondering about this for YEARS i think. that there are some things i have no idea how to say so that it won't be rude and informal.
