I'm not beautiful
I can't quite claim pretty
And I'm over 11 so not happy with cute

I'm going to be suave. I am going to live a life of suave. I am certain I don't need a penis to do it and don't care if people think I do.

So suave it is.

Can I be suave?! Its a great word to say

MrsTerryPratchett · 09/10/2013 14:34

You could be insouciant. You have never stuck me as suave. Sorry.

Mogz · 09/10/2013 14:37

HoneyDragon beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but darn it if you want to be suave then go right ahead!

MrsTP

That's just a posh way of saying I am a klutz who colours in babies and consistently fucks up Hmm it may well be apt and true

I'll stick to suave thanks. That gives an aura of vague attractiveness and I can be charming and scintillating, I reckon. Suave is the way forward for me.

Scintillating is easy. Five minutes with any child covers one in glitter, which never goes away. Fukuyama has nothing on glitter. Scintillate away.

Insouciant means nonchalant/carefree/blithe, not clumsy/hapless.

Better than suave, which is, um, rather too smooth for my liking :)

NumTumRedRum · 09/10/2013 15:07

What happened to awesome? Awesome is good. Suave makes me think of men in bowler hats.

I'd like to be debonair. Grin

Sorry..your fly is undone

nicename · 09/10/2013 15:10

Are you going to be sff-isticated to?

ArgyMargy · 09/10/2013 15:11

Do what you like, but try looking in a dictionary first.

WhereBeThatBlackbirdTo · 09/10/2013 15:12

Suave is David Niven.

Insouciant is more early Audrey Hepburn.

Are you more of a David than an Audrey?

UriGHOULer · 09/10/2013 15:14

Oh debonair thats the one for me!

dancemom · 09/10/2013 15:17

I'm reserved with an air of haughty - well I have decided I'm going to be after reading this thread!

YouTheCat · 09/10/2013 15:18

twirls moustache

Suave is Nigel Havers.
Are you Nigel Havers?
Are you?

I want to be suave. Why do the Menz get all the good words?

Fanjo I shit you not. I looked down when you said that and indeed they were! Are you hiding in my kitchen?

This is suave ^ Grin

fanjoforthemammaries7850 · 09/10/2013 17:04

Yes Wink

Get those dishes washed!

EldritchCleavage · 09/10/2013 17:05

I aspire to soignee. Will never happen though.

MrsTerryPratchett · 09/10/2013 17:06

Marcus from Eldorado was suave.

HesterShaw · 09/10/2013 17:10

"insouciant"

How do you even say that?

TheHeadlessLadyofCannock · 09/10/2013 17:10

I'd also love to be soignee but I'm too weird-looking and scruffy.

Angelica Huston apparently once said to Erin O'Connor 'You may never be beautiful but you will always be magnificent'.

I'd take that but no one would ever use that word about me

Suave is great, HD!

EldritchCleavage · 09/10/2013 17:29

No, Marcus was louche.

ClaraOswald · 09/10/2013 17:31

Suave is behaviour, not appearance.

You are far too hard on yourself about your looks.
