I've had it for a week....thought it was mild after the big spin but then it came back...I fucking hate this. And I know it's my left ear - always the culprit.

My dad used to call my mom a battle-axe which means aggressive, overbearing, forceful. He thought it was a negative name. I always sort of thought good for you mom. Let him have it 😁

my dad did too when I was little! I assumed it was sexist and I told him it was mean. He used it as a term of endearment and I told him he had no game 🤣

I use all of these regularly, except tenterhooks was new to me. But now that I know what it means I have one more useful word added to my vocabulary! I spend a lot of time on tenterhooks too, I'm surprised I've never heard that word before.

Sorry, but isn't it pernickety if you mean "placing too much emphasis on trivial or minor details; fussy." Which is what I'm being now. 🫣
