There's flittered, and it doesn't really mean that, but maybe people use it like that over there? Who knows?

flitteredpast participle, past tense of flit·ter
Verb:
Move quickly in an apparently random or purposeless manner: "flittering around the countryside"

sounds about like what I said

Just sayin.

also, i realize that graph isn't super reliable, but it's an interesting notion.

I got a flat tire today. That was bad enough itself. When I was trying to loosen the bolts (which I eventually had to do with my feet), I felt/heard a pop higher on my forearm and close to my elbow. This was followed by intense pain. The arm is getting stiff and the pain is all the way down in my hand from the elbow. I hope that I didn't seriously injure myself but I'm going to have to go get it checked out tomorrow if it's not feeling any better. I seriously thought that I may have snapped a bone when it first happened. A bad injury would be just what I need right now!

When I woke up today, my entire arm was stiff and I had numbness all the way down in my hand with a little bit of swelling. Took some advil and iced it. As of now, there's still pain, but it's minimal. Think I probably just strained a muscle.

that graph is wrong. I pay 250 in rent. I could earn that in slightly less than 1 40 hour work week before taxes. If my roommate moved out, it would be 500. I could do that in two weeks before taxes. If I for some reason moved out and then moved back in and the rent went up to a more typical 600 I would still be able to do it in two weeks.

I live in one of the most expensive renting areas of MS.

The graph exaggerates.

I always pictured flittering as a casual action, not really something you do when panicked. Like a butterfly or a hummingbird stopping at random flowers in a field. Flittering around, actively not taking shits. Could just be me, though.

[Fe 26]

You're thinking of fluttered. Like the flutter ponies.

[Mzo]

I thought flutter was the actual act of flapping the wings.

Flittering is a less common word for Fluttering.

I'm never heard the word NOT used derogatorily

I've only heard it used as a effeminate form of panic.

Like "that bitch about flittered when she found out her friends had left her"

[Advocate]

I've never heard that word used at all.

If we use your sentemce I heard it go ...

"that bitch about flipped out when she found out her friends had left her"
