They are clear and loud in public when I wish they weren't. She's got a mouth on her." "From?" "Her grandfather! He howls when she tells the landlord to fuck off. He's given her the gesture, too." "Ouch. Hmmm. Why did you think that she had cerebral palsy?" "Think?" "I mean, how did that term first come up? That name does not just pop into most folks heads."
