Did I insult your fair queen?
I am sure there were more people laughing at my post than those clutching their pearls like you.
Just read it and move on.
Wow, what an amazing turn of phrase: "clutching their pearls — so very original! Never heard such a thing before! It's not the least trite, hackneyed, stale, overused, threadbare, shopworn, cliché, outmoded, cornball, warmed over, moth-eaten or passé! How did you ever come up with something that clever? Hats off to your inventive, witty writing!
Just a warning, though — others will try to copy and steal your very original work...
