- J. R. R. Tolkien used it in The Fellowship of the Ring (published in 1954) to cover hobbit ages from twenty to thirty-two, too old to be teenagers but short of "coming of age" at 33.
- In popular culture around the start of the 21st century, it has been used for children just before their teens, "between" childhood and being teenagers. The word is used to evoke children in this stage of adolescence as a market for products generally associated with somewhat older role models like the Olsen twins.
- To add to the age group confusion, in some educational and parenting circles "tweenies", children in their "tweens", are in the transition between toddlerhood and regular childhood, typically in their twos.

Ah, but if you garner your information from other sources of cultural literacy *cough*lametvshows*cough* Then you'd have the same definition that I go by. ;)

Heh, heh. HAHAH, we are so cool. How's the wedded life treating you btw? Gotten used to wearing that ring yet? :p

Life is great, I have nothing to complain about. :) As for my ring, I love wearing it - we had custom designed rings made for each of us, so my ring isn't a basic cheap wedding band - it's done in the form of 3 interlocking puzzle pieces, the two outer bands being white gold, the inner band being yellow gold, all 24 carat. It's an awesome ring which I'd wear married or not! ;) :cool:

Which reminds me, I'm surprised that your wedding pics didn't have a close up of the two of your hands intertwined or somesuch. Seems like all the wedding albums I've seen have such a photo. :p Do you have a pic of yours and her rings? Mm... jewelry...

If you zoom in on some shots you can see them, but yes, we never had any of those token "intertwined hands" shots.

I'll hunt for a pic of the two of them and see what I can do for ya... :)

TV? ... never heard of it. ;)

Oh, you mean that signal that intrudes into my VCR and pipes lies into the composite channel of my monitor? :p

If our only references for something are from media ... than it's not real; it's acting. :)

(I'm not the robot, but he is writing a piece for my recital. He sits behind me in Calculus and government and he's generally cool. I've known him basically all my life. We give him crap about being a robot. :D)

The robot kicks Arse.. When I was a kid, my mom made me a robot costume for halloween. It had flashing LED's and a drop box for candy. Thanks for the memories..

OK, I'll byte..

How so, sans the middle-finger one?

I actually took the other pictures wrong as I was speed-viewing them. I realize now that they are much to the happier side of emotions than to the angry/sad, so it all makes sense now.

The middle-finger one is great, I love it. The others I just misunderstood :eek:

Damn, these photos are up forever, aren't they. That "icy vagina" photo is gonna haunt me forever.

Wow, these photos look so artistic in black and white.

You're hot as a lady.
Please be my cross dressin' prom date. I'll get you a sammich.

(and tweens? is like 10-12 year olds, before they hit "teen" years.. or that's what oprah said! Why would oprah lie to me??)

I'd reckon yes, since you are both remembering it. I vaguely remember a picture, but not sure if it was just a modified 'tar shot or her own.

Dare to share BV, you know it will be kindly welcomed ;)

Oops, better tone it down or I'll scare her off.
