ehnn...WRONG!
Now as the holiday season swings steadily into gear, we start seeing the escalation of couples and new romances forming. Whether it stems from forceful blind dates; to one-night-stands from the club turning into seasonal seduction; to logging into your old blackplanet.com account (or migente.com and getting back in touch with that hot "thang thang": it's kind of sort of the 'norm' as they days get colder...and we haven't even switched the clocks back yet! (Thanks George Double-U...we know it was for the kids).
Well anyhow, this is the time when you are going to see a lot of shifts in attitudes of women and men. Social life slows down a bit, love making increases (check the stats) and feelings get made and consequently hurt more frequently......all in the name of the "L" word.
It just depends on exactly which "L" word you are referring to. And here is my brief synopsis of the popular ones:
Love: Now this as defined in good ol' Merriam-Webster's Dictionary is: "Strong affection for another arising out of kinship or personal ties" cool...pretty self explanatory, we'll roll with that!
Luv: This is when it starts gettin' tricky. The Urban Dictionary defines this bad boy as: "A casual way of saying you really like someone without freaking them out by saying I love you. Commonly used by people early on in relationships, where it is too soon to say I love you." Just to add to that it is most effectively used during text messages or emails...of course as there is no valid phonetic distinction between the two....okay as Jigga would say "...onto the next one..."
Luh: Okay, so this is usually used in a more playful demeanor whether the individual is genuinely loved or not. For example it could be used after an argument between a couple in love where the male for example ensues an apology (because by nature we are usually wrong);
"...I'm sorry baby...you know I 'Luh' you guuurl. Now come on let's make some more chir-ren..." (all ebonic spellings and erroneous sentence syntax implied)
Lub: This word is usually used by women and is therefore thought of more as a cute way of demeaning the word "Love". Also heavily used in text and/or instant messaging. It is the farthest thing you want to say to a woman in a serious relationship.
Hopefully with the above lessons on the various connotations of that "L" word, the world will be a more amicable place to be in...it all just depends on what level you wanna take it to!
So, in conclusion we should all make "love" not war, and if you're diggin' that chic fellas, and it just so happens to be V-day and a couple of months since you've known her don't hesitate to tell her that you think you "luv" her through a quick text (That's if you wanna take it there...but most of the guys are thinking: 'sheeeeeeeed'). And ladies, same goes for you. When you're dating that man and you just cussed him out and made him feel like 3 week old doo-doo but u realized u were wrong; throw him that text and tell him you "luh" him...do it at your own risk though! And for those that just keep getting stuck with the corny stick...you know your girl/man says that all their friends feel you are corny, and you wanna kinda play with their emotions a bit, especially when it's super early... hit 'em back with I "lub" you and a smile....whatever you do, do it courageously!
on that note..... "GOTTA LOVE LUB them REDSKINS.....HAHAHAHAHA"
