You Know You Are Addicted To Firefly When...

[White Knight]

After filming on Serenity had finished, Joss was asked how he had come up with 'shiny'. He explained that he'd imagined that in the future, since all the good, nice, cool new things would be very sleek and shiny, shiny would be adopted as a multi-purpose word for cool-good-nice. Then he discovered that during the American expansion and the 'Wild West', the word shiny had been used with that exact same definition. History repeating itself, as per Joss' vision of the future.

That's very cool. Shiny. I may start using that more myself.

[CKO]

yes very shiny

[SlytherinGal]

very Shiny!

[zahncrelnik]

you say "gorramn" when you are mad
and 'Shiny' when you're happy

[CKO]

sounds bout right

[White Knight]

you say "gorramn" when you are mad
and 'Shiny' when you're happy

What, you mean people don't do that already?
I'll say that something's shiny and other people will look at me like I'm mad ("How can a wooden chair be shiny? There's nothing on it that reflects light")

[SlytherinGal]

i just said gorram about a few minutes ago too when me and CKO were discussing a flying critter (bug) in her place

[CKO]

yes gorram is slippin' in a lot.

course that gorram critter must have been really stupid... twas very gorram easy to catch.. (with a bottle and cover it) and the gorram thing is dead... course it maynot have likedthe leftover eggnog (the last few drops on the bottom of the container)

[SlytherinGal]

yea, not a very smart critter at all

[CKO]

very stupid critter indeed.

[White Knight]

Gorram critters...

[CKO]

exactly gorram critters should learn not to mess with me... seein' as they end up dyin'

[Sela]

I have been using gorram more lately. Keeps people on their toes - they're not sure if I'm cussing at them or not.

Someone really annoyed me today and I said gorram and the boy sat next to me just looked at me and went, "you do know it's god dam right?" and I was just like, "I know what I said" and grinned , hehe it's so fun to mess with people's heads
