what about hungry?

[sine_metu]

That's more a biological need than an emotion.

[white_widow]

Hmm. No, I definitely think it's both.

[sine_metu]

I'd like to hear your argument as to why.

[white_widow]

Well, you can be hungry for more than food, and I have recently learned that 'hangriness' is a thing. So it at least has to count as emotion adjacent.

[sine_metu]

My text to voice didn't know how to pronounce that. I'm sure I heard it wrong. Explain?

[white_widow]

It's a combination of the words hungry and angry, and means being ill tempered due to hunger.
Which means hunger is a negative emotion. And is also a very handy excuse for being grumpy, and usually means someone will offer to find you a snack.

[sine_metu]

Thank you. I appreciate that very thorough explanation.
I'm going to have to use that on Foggy the next time he's grumpy around dinner.

[white_widow]

It's very useful. It might be one of my favorite English words now.

[sine_metu]

He's going to be surprised I learned new slang.
And probably make fun of me a little bit.

[white_widow]

Why is that surprising and mockworthy?

[sine_metu]

It's a hard for a blind man to keep up with fast moving social media.
Especially when text to voice doesn't keep up.
Anytime I learn something new and "hip" Foggy likes to tease me.

[white_widow]

I think that might mean he is failing you.

[sine_metu]

Foggy?
Never.

[white_widow]

Fair.
The argument could be made that it is his responsibility to keep you up to date on slang, though.

[sine_metu]

It's more important he keeps me up to date on current legal arguments.

[white_widow]

That's a valid and sadly responsible reply, but if you wanted to tease him back, I think that would work.

[sine_metu]

Trust me, if I wanted to tease Foggy I know how.

[white_widow]

I would assume that you're an expert on that, yes.

[sine_metu]

We've been best friends since college.

[white_widow]

What is it like, to be friends with someone and actually near them for that long?

[sine_metu]

Great. It's a really great feeling.
He's a better friend than I am but he still sticks with me.

[white_widow]

I suppose one person in each friendship has to be better at friendship, and it makes sense that person would not be the type to leave.

[sine_metu]

It sounds like you're trying to figure out how to be a friend.

[white_widow]

It's a new addition to my skillset, yes.
