Haha, I had this thought the other day about this situation with my friend when I was 10-11. She was so weirdly insistent and desperate that I shower with her because she said her dad would get mad if we used a lot of hot water. I did, even though I thought the whole thing was really strange at the time, but thinking back on it 16 years later it seems even weirder and possibly more awful. Like, her dad wasn't even home and he didn't care about us cooking by ourselves or anything like that? So why did we have to shower together? I'll always wonder if the whole thing was just an innocent ploy to get me in the shower with her, or something more terrible.

........Oh dear lord you just reminded me of something similar. Only the girl was like 7 and I ...wow. I feel retroactively violated.

IDK, lots of kids cook without supervision at 10-11--I think I was allowed to fry meat and cut up chicken at that age, anyway. On the other hand, you never know what pet economies people have--her dad might have gotten all exercised over long showers. In my old neighborhood, the girls who lived across the street were restricted to 10 minute showers, and their dad used to stand outside the bathroom with a stopwatch and cut off the water if they were in there longer than 10 minutes. In fairness, these people had trouble with their septic tank, but you never know what weird little rules and pet economies people will have, or how exercised they can get when people in the household don't abide by them.

her dad might have gotten all exercised over long showers

lmao, did you mean "worked up"?

um, yeah, what did you think I meant?

na

....well you did put "exercised".

google translate anon??

"exercised" is another word for "angry, worked up, upset."

It's not, actually. It's really not. Exasperated is another word for "worked up", but exercised is not used that way.

da

It has been used that way before but it's kind of an old/rarely used expression and I can't recall the last time I've seen someone say it before today. Maybe it's used more often in certain parts of the world or something

http://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/exercised+about

See comment below. It's not current usage and hasn't been for probably decades.

If it's good enough for Jack Vance, it's good enough for fandomsecrets.

If it's out of usage it's out of usage. You probably wouldn't go around saying you were shocked by the wild ejaculations of some of the members on f!s either.

...Using the word ejaculate to mean "a sudden verbalization" just isn't current usage either.

If someone is using it, it's not out of usage, is it? And even if it isn't current, that doesn't make it incorrect.

If most people don't use a word to mean a thing, even if it commonly used to mean a thing, there is going to be a break-down in communication because of lack of understanding.

I mean, it's technically correct, but what's the point if no one gets it.
