JUST A NOTE: to people who don't know that Bumfluff is a cat, this sentence: Thank you, Mother, despite all your faults (like being allergic to my darling Bumfluff) is going to sound really freakin weird. HEY CONGRATULATIONS ON GRADUATING! I didn't think you could do it! Frankly I'm shocked. Has you some moneys. And great arts! I love Martha's floofy hair thing. It's so her!
See, the thing is, I expect everyone who reads my LJ to have read yours and the comments. If they haven't, well then they can just go o_O at my sentence including Bumfluff, AND wonder why the word is capitalized.
Mom is convinced it's a term of British slang. I, howsoemever, am not. Trufax, y/n? (You're the Brit standard 'round these parts, I reckon.)
Well Bum meaning buttocks is certainly British slang, so I'm guessing bumfluff is too?? I don't think it's a common phrase to be included in the guidebooks or anything, but if Hugh Laurie says it, it must be true. And in American slang, "bumfluff" would mean "something light and soft or airy" from a homeless person. Which is intriguing, yet not the connotation we want to get across here.

My Dudette, that's a good Martha.
By "Cheap" and "People" do you mean "Poor" and "Ann"?
