Wait till you hear about verbs in other languages
With gender!
When I came out, my aunt asked me what my adverbs are. She thinks it makes us look silly to pretend it’s so complicated.
She pretended not to be able to remember LGBT in the right order, despite the fact that she was a nurse and has memories hundreds of acronyms.
I would be tempted to tell her my adverb is fabulously.
“I fabulously eat. I fabulously think. And I’m going to fabulously walk away from this conversation now.”
That’s fucking awesome lmao
