BlueHarvest Posted November 21, 2009 Posted November 21, 2009 (edited) Ok I know this is wierd, and probably not even the right place but I overheard a friend say this to another friend and I'm pretty sure I heard it correctly... Mind you it was in passing and I heard it *between 2 girls*. I'll just keep swimming and maybe I'll actually find nemo and graduate before I'm a spinster. Either that or I'm busting a Penny Lane when I turn 30. Wierd...? Edited November 21, 2009 by BlueHarvest
LucreziaBorgia Posted November 21, 2009 Posted November 21, 2009 She basically said that if she doesn't graduate and find a man by thirty she is going to kill herself (referring to the character Penny Lane in Almost Famous who attempted it). It sounds like it was said in jest though and not seriously. A lot of young women think life is over if they reach thirty without a ring and a career. My guess anyway.
sadintexas Posted November 21, 2009 Posted November 21, 2009 I am extremely impressed that you could translate that. I had no clue

OMFG....that's impressive...That you translated that. Makes sense, considering the context but wow...that's some wierd jargon. However, you know what the say...every sarcastic/joking comment has a grain of truth in it.
LucreziaBorgia Posted November 21, 2009 Posted November 21, 2009 I work with a lot of twentysomething ladies. I've had to learn to speak their language, haha!
