N-O-P-(E)

It's time for N, O, and P.  NOPE.  According to Urban Dictionary, there are several definitions of the word "Nope." There seems to be a consensus among various sources, though, that "Nope" is somehow different than "No."  It is a variant of the word "No" and there are some situations where "Nope" simply fits better. Here are some different definitions and examples, slightly altered so as to pertain to our D/D lifestyle:

NOPE

1. The best response to a sub who is trying to argue or debate with you; the ultimate comeback that is immediately followed by a spanking.
     Example
     Sub:  "You are so wrong!  My way was the right way!"
     Dom:  "Nope." *takes Sub over lap for spanking*

2. "No" or "negative."  An emphatic form of "no," implying that the Dom's answer will not be changing in the future--often used when the Dom has to say no repeatedly.

     Example

     Sub:  "Are we done yet?"

     Dom:  "Nope."

     Sub:  "Can I get off your lap yet?"

     Dom:  "Nope."

     Sub:  "Can I leave the corner now?"

     Dom:  "Nope."

3.  The reaction a sub has when seeing a scary spanking implement, e.g. Lexan cane

     Example

     *Sub walks into bedroom and sees Lexan cane and paddle laying on the bed.*

     Sub:  *backs away slowly* "Nope nope nope nope nope..."

4.  A flat-out refusal; the complete and ultimate rejection of orders.

     Dom:  "Your task for tomorrow is to write me a three-page reflection on respect.  Now over my lap."

     Sub:  *"Nope."

     *Highly un-recommended response.

5.  A word to express when a sub knows what she is attempting will not be successful.

     Dom:  "You are going to be punished for this."

     Sub:  "You shouldn't punish me because I really tried to do the right thing.  I even prepared, thought ahead, wrote instructions, and...um...nope, OK."  *gives in and goes over knee*

6.  The most common response from women when a man asks for anal sex.

     Man:  "Would you like to try something new?"

     Woman:  "Sure, sounds exciting!"

     Man:  "Anal sex..."

     Woman:  "Nope."

     Man:  "I'll be gentle..."

     Woman:  "Nope."

A message of caution to the subs of Blogland:  Just because you can use the word "Nope" doesn't mean you should.  I wouldn't recommend reenacting any of these scenarios.  If you simply can't resist, perhaps you should follow it up with a "Sir," so as to make it slightly more respectful.

Nope, Sir!

Apple Bottoms Jeans

Today's letter is A, and I've chosen to write about Apple Bottoms jeans, because 1) I love jeans, and 2) I've heard about these mysterious "apple bottom jeans," but I'm not quite sure what they are--all I know from various hip hop songs is that women's asses look hot in them.

According to Wikipedia:

Apple Bottoms is a fashion and lifestyle brand for women launched in 2003 by rap artist Nelly, Yomi Martin and Ian Kelly. The brand was initially a denim label, but has since expanded to include other women's and girl's clothing, perfume and accessories.

Ah ha!  Rappers decided to get together and design clothing for women so they would have something to rap about...now I get it.  If you want to walk around with apples on your butt cheeks, these are the jeans for you.  But it's not just apples--I recall a trend that started when I was in high school of jeans and sweatpants that came with writing on the butt (basically inviting people to stare at your ass and read what it says).  Well, it seems Apple Bottoms influenced that trend:

OK, so I really want a pair of these jeans now, because, the letters A B happen to be my first and last name initials.  I suppose I was destined to wear these jeans!

A-Z Blogging Challenge

Thanks to Del Fonte for introducing me to the A-Z Blogging Challenge in June.  I'm totally on board for this, because my husband is gone for the whole month of June!  This way I will have to come up with things to write about.

The FAQ's for the challenge can be found here.  Basically, it involves going through the entire alphabet for the month of June, and blogging about a topic that begins with a new letter every day.  I'm going to try my best to make it all DD and/or spanking related, but we'll see (any ideas for X besides xylophone???).  If I stay on top of it, there will obviously be a lot to read on my blog this month.  Don't feel the need to get through all of it--I'm used to rambling on to myself!
