Betty Botter bought some butter,
"But," she said, "this butter's bitter.
If I bake this bitter butter,
It will make my batter bitter.
But a bit of better butter -
That would make my batter better."
So she bought a bit of butter,
Better than her bitter butter,
And she baked it in her batter,
And the batter was not bitter.
So 'twas better Betty Botter
Bought a bit of better butter.

Bitter is a funny word. Seems like every other day, there's a new poster calling us the "B" word.

So I think we should keep track. Every time a new post is made calling us bitter, let's put a snippet on this thread.

Someday someone may be able to use it for research purposes-- or as evidence that we're all bitter. smile

"bitter" = something truthful about adultery a wayward didn't want to hear grin

Moral neutrality about adultery is not an absence of "bitterness" but an absence of CONSCIENCE.

I think that if I turned it into a drinking game, I would be drunk. I don't drink though, so I guess I'll stay sober. And bitter. HAHAHAHA

Whenever someone calls me "bitter" I see it for what it is. An attempt to deflect attention off of themselves, and try to make me defend myself. I won't bite. Not anymore. It's also very ignorant. I am "bitter" because I don't believe your fog-babble. Okay. If you wish to delude yourself further, I'll let you, but it ain't gonna help.
