  1. I’m obsessed with that usage of confident tangle and I plan to perpetuate it’s usage to such an extreme degree that Oxford’s English Dictionary takes notice and makes it official. Fuck yeah language.

    • I support this, though am concerned that confident tangle may technically be a phrase rather than a word, and I imagine the OED people are sticklers for rules.

      That aside, I think the following may speed the acceptance of confident tangle into common parlance:

      1. The phrase “confident tangle” is mentioned in the British Houses of Parliament. A good place for this might be in forthcoming debates over the UK’s EU membership. Suggested phrase: “The UK’s global position is strengthened by its intertwining with the confident tangle of European economic collectivism.” UK straddlers – get writing to your MP.

      2. A giant billboard campaign features an image of a tousle-haired androgyne along the highways of Los Angeles, with the tagline “You’re looking very confident tangle today.”

      3. Hillary Clinton has a makeover for her 2016 campaign, attempting to soften her image with a softer, less formal hairstyle. Of the 8000 media takes on the subject, over half mention how her new confident tangle is the game-changer that will propel her to presidential victory.

  2. Yay comment awards!!! But I am so sad that the comments have started to sink back after comment week :(

  3. Wow, I agree! I had a straight/ confused phase in school too! I’ve never thought of it like that, but its so true. That one boyfriend was lovely but in hindsight feels so alien.

  4. My comment needs some context this week.

    ALI HAS A GD ABSINTH FOUNTAIN! AND WANTS ROCKS AND ATOMIZERS AND A HUGE, BRICK-LIKE JUICER! AND PROBS A HAND-CARVED BAR TO PUT THEM ALL IN

  5. I have finally fulfilled a long time internet goal of winning an Autostraddle comment award– and happened for what was for my most embarrassing internet moment. Gotta love the way life works ;)

  6. Oy the physical descriptions of female musicians always kills my soul a bit.

    “She has one button undone on her cream colored blouse?! What does it mean?!”

    (probably nothing)
