I refuse to give up the word “dapper.” I think it’s a lovely word that I would use in fact to describe YOU. I would also use it to describe Gregory Hines, who you referenced in an earlier show. I’ve missed him for many, many years and was very pleased that you mentioned him.
Great fun - honestly things I rarely think about so good fun to even consider eg butt vs genitalia - can’t move in a restaurant now without thinking about that. Obviously Ill advised is now in the big time - made it into the New York Times. Stay small and humble !!
There's really not much more to say than that
