1. ONE OF YOUR SCARS, HOW DID YOU GET IT?
A sorta diamond shape on my left palm. I was 10 and stabbed myself with a curved knife while making linoleum cuts in an art class at a YM&YWHA in Brooklyn. The instructor told us to cut away from us so he wouldn't have to yank any of the blades from our chests, and I was careful to cut away from my body, but unfortunately, I was anchoring the linoleum with my left hand and just jammed that puppy into the fleshy part of my palm. And the linoleum cut I was making? Fishies. They came out very nicely, once we washed the blood off.

I believe macking it refers to making out. Depending on the age of the speaker, it could mean just kissing. It was great fun to read your answers.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Adrienne. If macked means kissing, well, it makes it sound so unpleasant, and kissing the right person can be so nice. :)
ReplyDeleteI had fun answering them. There was a good variety.
