Incognito

Discussion of fashion elements and looks that are traditionally considered somewhat "femme" but are presented in a masculine context. This is NOT about transvestism or crossdressing.

It really doesn't much matter, and we're not going to demand it any more than we demand anything else save for gender-honesty. Note where I list as a "location" -- it's quite imprecise, even if I do know the location of my domicile down to a couple of millimetres. Even the "ICBM Address" I use in my e-mail sig-block is slightly obfuscated. I do the same thing for my birthday: very few know the precise date.

Anyway, listing the community one resides in, unless it's positively tiny, yields sufficient anonymity so nothing critical is likely to leak out.

chuffed
(phonetic - chuhft)
Adjective - Chiefly British Informal.

delighted; pleased; satisfied

Example of usage.
We're absolutely chuffed to have won the game.
Example of mis-usage:
The train spotter was chuffed to death when the steam-hauled express arrived unexpectedly early.
There is no such thing as a normal person, only someone you don't know very well yet.

IMHO A country's name in "Location", UK, USA, Australia say, might help avoid misunderstandings with language.

I take your point about compulsion. That's fine. :)

I agree with you that an exact location within the country, isn't necessary.
