#earbash

Hey call me Merritt 👋

I'm a 30-something, Non-binary grey-ace (demi) queer. My life is full of performing, chronic-illness, and a lot of creative hobbies.

I've been on (and off) Tumblr since 2009, and being back as an adult is a trip. There will be kink, sex, and non-traditional relationship structure posts here. You have been warned.

There is no rhyme or reason here. This blog is "a revisiting of my past" for a reason. I'm treating this the way I did when I was 13 and here the first time. Whatever is on my mind, comes across my dash, or is currently of interest will be here.

A Language is a Dialect with an Army & Navy The wording of this definition has been revised since I created this comic. It now reads “To talk incessantly or at great length,”, ‘Ear-basher’ has its own entry (‘A person who talks excessively; a bore’), and the quotation has changed. The line from We Were Rats is now “Ya know them things he's often ear-bashing about.” This may be a different passage, or excerpted from an inferior translation, sadly missing much of the character of the original Australian.

Ear-bash, v., transitive & intransitive slang. (chiefly Australian). To talk inordinately (to someone). Hence ear-bashing, verbal substantive & participle adjective; ear-basher, a chatterer; a bore.  

‘Time for you bastards to do some spine bashing,’ said one. ‘Are you going to sit there ear bashing all night?’”
