Good thing I'm not interested in being nice, then. What are the attributes of freaking awesome? :-)
One of the attributes of nice is knowing when to keep your mouth shut. :P
Italics is a nice word too. ;-)
Old-school italics: <i>text goes here</i>
New-school italics: <em>text goes here</em>
They both look the same, but the second one is XHTML compliant, so that's what I use. Both should work on this site though.
Having never spoken girl talk, my outsider's opinion is that all y'all must be awfully shallow and catty to one another if you depend on the word nice to have conversation.
Oh, nice encompasses all the characteristics a boy requires to date your friend. I don't care about the Stepford Wives, although I would like to know how to use italics (hint hint). Girl talk simply cannot survive without nice.
a fascinating word etymologically: Its meaning has turned almost 180 degrees and constantly -consistently- wa(i)vers depending on its contextual usage. It puts the "tack" in tacky
If you don't think about it, this is a nice word. See?
But if you do think about it, ugh. It's like The Stepford Wives or something. The shallowest and most deceptive compliment known to man. Evil to the core.
An insidious and dismissive word.
