Subject: RE: 'GET A LIFE'
..on. I used live in a small town, short way from a big city here in the USA where at the time, the term was very popular. Now this was several years ago so I hesitate to claim that is where it came from, 'but hey' from the same locale - it could!

Typicaly used among certain late teen girls who had already or were in the process of moving out from the parents home. The path at the time was to get pregnant, did not matter how or by who. From this lofty Life they would get Welfare and most important an apartment of their own.

These young ladies then would be described as 'Bimbos', smoking, overweight, unwashed and scantily clad foul mouthed young ladies. Ahem.

If that is what you meant - then it does not apply here!

So what the H****L are you on about?

Hunting the Whale is the correct English.

Nobody uses correct English - that I know or read. Ahem.

You mention some person, any person, heck a Nonperson would have been fine, why mention it at all?
