1. lol...what link?

2. Maybe there's a word for that

When people say to go to the link and then don't post the link. Or when you send an email and forget the attachment that you refer to.

3. Thunderbird

My Thunderbird email program actually warns me if I use a word like "attachment" in the body of the message, but I don't actually include one.

It's one of those small, little touches that really improve the experience.

5. ei linkki

Means 'No link'.

7. I had encountered "Shikata ga nai" in high school....

...have used it many times since....

Ha! used it on my mother once over some issue, and she asked me what that meant; I told her it meant "There's not a f&uckin' thing I can do about it", and boy, did she ever come UN-GLUED!! I was in college at the time, and I guess she had never heard me use the F-word before--a real shock to the old girl's puritanical system!
