I didn't, sorry! The question asked something like, which website you're on all of the time so I put the fanboard because I basically live here.
Hopefully, this will get people to click the link to check this out and then go to his website from here.

We can make comments plugging the site in the comments section of the article, in case people check those out.

We can have a slogan: "The Michael Emerson fanboard: Where we talk about Michael 24/7...literally. ;D
Can someone explain to me where slang words like "pimping and making out" originated from? They sound like naughty words.

They sound like naughty words. I know that pimping came from the word "pimp," whose job is to sell his women to other johns. So he makes sure that they are "adequately" dressed down and "spread" the word. Don't know making out. I am sure that we can look it up on the 'Net.

I thought that's what it meant; Why use that word, then, if it's offensive?

I thought that's what it meant; Why use that word, then, if it's offensive? Because, believe it or not, it's easier to spell pimp than advertise, and "ghetto" talks is considered "cool."

I thought that's what it meant; Why use that word, then, if it's offensive? Making Out!!! This is what I found on Wikipedia: In human sexuality, making out is a sexual euphemism of American origin dating back to at least 1949. It covers a wide range of sexual behaviors, and means different things to different age groups in different parts of the U.S. It typically involves kissing, including prolonged, passionate kissing (also known as French kissing), intimate contact, including heavy petting-that is, skin-to-skin contact, or other forms of foreplay, even up to and in some usages including sexual intercourse. Making out is usually considered an expression of affection or sexual attraction to a current or prospective sexual partner. An episode of making out is frequently referred to as a make-out session. The perceived significance of making out may be affected by the age and relative sexual experience of the participants. For instance, teenagers with little experience in erotic or intimate relationships may perceive making out as a serious act of intimacy, whereas those with more accumulated knowledge and experience may ascribe less significance to the act - as mere foreplay. Inexperienced teenagers sometimes play party games in which making out is the main activity as an act of exploration. Games in this category include Seven Minutes in Heaven and Spin the Bottle. Teenagers are also known to have social gatherings, referred to as "make-out parties" or "kissing balls," in which making out is the predominant event. Sometimes these activities are confined to a specific section of a party, which may be termed the "make-out room."
