Lish: what does it mean when people do that thing
you know
with the letters
Cara: Uh

why are you so obtuse?
Cara: heeee. I adore you
Lish: heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Cara: Read?
Lish: no!

Cara: heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Lish: when they write that thing down that's like a short way of saying that other thing!
there are TWO LETTERS!
Cara: acronym?
abbreviate?
Lish: SPECIFIC letters
god, it's like talking to a tree
a fucking ELM tree
Cara: What does the other thing mean?
Lish: you know goddamn well what it means!
Cara: Maybe!
Lish: if you think you're going to get out of this by playing dumn
................heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Cara: heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
i.e.?
e.g?
Lish: christ.
Cara: Mr?
Lish: what's WRONG with you?
Cara: At least seven different things!
Lish: it's those letters that you always think they should be other letters!
because you forget what they stand for and also latin
Cara: uh
the periodic symbol for gold?
Lish: surprisingly no
stop changing the subject!
Cara: I don't know what the subject IS!
Lish: I've had just about enough of you and your fucking periodic table of the elements, missy
Cara: But there are so many!
Lish: you can't have ANY of them!
...I will allow you a small amount of carbon.
Cara: aw. You don't have to be mean about it
I think I need some oxygen
Lish: no, sorry

Cara: I was hoarding all the helium!
Lish: that was YOU!?
Cara: ...I have a really big balloon in the works
Lish: you fuck! do you know how many birthday boys are crying, CRYING!!??

Cara: It's what we've always dreamed of!
Lish: heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
you thought you could distract me, but alas
Cara: No, I really am this addle-pated
Lish: those things where, you know, afterwards someone will just say someone's name, or something, and it would make sense to you WHY if you could remember what those two letters meant
Cara: uh
Lish: and maybe you have a sneaking suspicion it has something to do with op. cit. except it doesn't, really, not at all
not at ALL
Cara: loc. cit?
Lish: jesus christ.
you know how stupid you sound, right?
Cara: Possibly
Lish: it's only two letters!
there aren't THAT many letters!
Cara: ib?
Lish: no!
GOD
like when you're just walking along inside a sentence and all of a sudden you see them sitting there all latiny and then you look at what's after them and cant' figure out what relation the after words have to the before words
Cara: n.b?
Lish: ......yes.
Cara: ...really?
Lish: yeah.
Cara: Huh.
