Scorpio

I never say "You rock!" , "Don't go there!" , "That's so not right!" , "It's a beautiful thing!" , "You're/He's/She's on crack!" , "Ciao!" , "bling," or "hella." I never use "beverage" as a euphemism for a drink containing alcohol. I never call important things "special." I never say "sketch" unless I'm talking about drawing or a drawing. I say "Babe" but not "babe."
