Curious to what connotations it might have elsewhere. Could've bought it from Poundland too.

My grandparents used the term "BM." It took me a while to figure out they meant "bowel movement."
I assume "Pound Town" has some currency in the UK.

i'm not even talking about the two posters above
honestly fuck the person who said that in your thread. i have my issues with certain indie rock affectations but for the record appreciate you and your enthusiasm, also my quibbles are not about music being "dangerous" vs. "non-threatening" because i'm not a fucking turd, just for the record

idk i would like to at least communicate this without making it personal, but to waltz into a thread about music and say "i haven't listened to this but i would like to criticize the way you wrote about this music i haven't listened to" is just kind of a dick move! unsolicited advice at best. honestly kind of off-topic. editors tell me my metaphors don't make sense all the time but i have a working relationship with them. you are a person on a message board
― ivy., Tuesday, 29 August 2023 23:27 (eight months ago) link
feedback is usually something you ask for unless you're publishing something very publicly and my ilx writing just kinda shouldn't be held to the standard of my published work because i am not working with an editor, please don't hold me to such a standard because i will fail to meet it, and it will upset me, do you get why i got upset?
