Fine then. I guess I will.
(Also I love me some Dorothy Parker).
Me too! And yeah I’m not exactly great but I’ll do my best.
Same here. Might as well.
Gonna grab me a helium tank, a heavy duty garbage bag, and some gorilla tape when I finally can’t take it anymore
Not bad. I’ve just saved pill upon pill.

It didn’t stick out to me as unusual at all - is it another British English vs other forms of English thing? Parker was American so I’d be surprised
British English is my first language and it didn’t stick out to me as too unusual. Maybe if there’s a difference in the usage of it today, it’s one that has developed since Parker’s death?
American here. We definitely use it as a verb, most commonly as “it pains me to say…” It isn’t too common an expression, though, which might have been the oddity for the GP.
Yeah it does stick out a bit.
