LOL. I usta say that a lot (& sometimes *evil grin* 1/2 reaaallly meant it). One of my ex-grrlfriends gave me the nickname "Fruitbat" cuz of a certain lil sexual practice she liked verrrry much ;)
>Same with inedible (pejorative as in "you're so evil your meat must be
poisonous!!" IRRC some Marquesas Islanders, related to the Maori, had/have the insult of "your ancestors' meat was wormy" or something along those lines. >laudative as in "you're my friend and I'll never think of you as food"). And some
>connections may seem rather strange to us :)) .
Or laudative like "you are so honoured a friend that if you _had to_ you may eat my dead body" or even more so: "you are so loved that if the situation _should ever arise_, kill and eat me."
