As an old Perl jockey, you can pry my backticks out of my cold, dead hands.

This is the shit you feel when you’re high

HURRY! HURRY HAAAARRRRRRRD!

My curling peeps will know what I’m talking about.

I am also interested in the answer to this and which service the author is using.

This is good too.

I thought OP was looking for minced oaths that could be used in its place, and this is the first thing that came to mind for me. I use this one all the time because I try not to drop the big one around my five- and three-year-olds.

Is this loss?

I’m not super familiar with a lot of 3EB’s work, but I do like “How’s It Gonna Be”, and you’re absolutely right, they lean on that third pretty hard as a melodic element. The third tends to be sung a lot against the ii in that particular song (so yielding a ii9), but when they do use the IV, I notice the melody will often do the same, and it serves as kind of a tension breaker given how much emphasis is given to the third against the other chords leading up to the IV. The bass line is also great in this song, not just using the root of the chord, but different degrees and transitions between them for interest. That said, I can’t speak to the rest of their catalogue.

Checkmate, atheists!
