"So what bit of XXXXXXX do you not understand?" meaning you're too thick to understand why I'm right.

You mean as in "So what bit of 'the precision of the absolutely minimum transcendence of the dark is the light itself/the absolutely unconditioned exteriority of existence for the first time/the absolutely facial identity of existence/the proportion of the new creation sans depth/the light itself ex nihilo: the dark itself univocally identified, i.e., not self-identity identity itself equivocally, not the dark itself equivocally, in “self-alienation,” not “self-identity, itself in self-alienation” “released” in and by “otherness,” and “actual other,” “itself,” not the abysmal inversion of the light, the reality of the darkness equivocally, absolute identity equivocally predicated of the self/selfhood equivocally predicated of the dark (the reality of this darkness the other-self-covering of identity which is the identification person-self)' do you not understand?"

But we were 'appy.

'appen.

I was accused many times by a university barmaid in York of "stinking in bed" before lunchtime.

I liked her but being a precious sort in those days it offended my sensibilities.

There was a post punk girl there who had a t-shirt which read "whip me, thrill me, shag me" and she was supposedly just fine for being another woman.
