you think the music you're listening to isn't that old and then the lyrics are like "i'm waiting by the phone for your call"
@Ankoganit wow, nice find
you in spain is tú, usted, ustedes or vosotros (in descending order of usefulness)
jousted could mean "dueled a knight, in a way".. if jo = sweetheart somehow
jo means sweetheart in scotland, apparently
so it's jo+usted @Ankoganit

Oh wow
somehow using the scottish word feels dirtier than the spanish one
@Jafe yes! Well solved

@Avastar always happy to have new CCCC folks

@GarethMcCaughan could you merge and ? (and other synonyms, e.g. 's synonymns), following the principle of "All good tag synonyms should eventually be merged"? Leaving them un-merged leads to unnecessary confusion: questions have legacy tags which can no longer be used, and keeps the synonym's tag wiki around, possibly contradicting the master tag's wiki.
Also, we've hit 0 questions! (distant thunder of bobblies cheering) Once the tag itself is deleted by the automatic cleanup, I'll post an answer to the relevant meta question.
