Missus and I are having a disagreement. Figure if any place can give us the definitive answer, it would be a Texas-based BBS.
Make a bet. Backdoor on Tuesdays for a year. She can call it bootsex, but you both know what it is. I won $100 once proving that 'vittle' was spelled victuals. Also won another $100 from the same guy who swore that the population of China was 4B in the early 1990s, and countless $ from Street Fighter 2 fights (@tinman)
@basso, except with an "L" instead of a "b." For example, "She's going to lasso @basso!" Believe it or not, the two words sound very similar to each other. Sort of like channel and flannel, or filly and Billy. Think of it as a line from a Hallmark Channel "western romance" movie, the kind where the two main characters don't kiss until the very last scene, and even then it's with their mouths closed. Yes, my significant other reached new heights of boredom recently. Angry after watching too much news, a frequent occurrence these days, she channel surfed until she hit upon the Hallmark Channel (apparently, Hallmark wants to insure that the casual watcher realizes they aren't watching a greeting card). That resulted in me actually watching the last 15 minutes of one of these flicks. It was 15 minutes of Hell. At least it's how I imagine Hell must be, if I believed it existed. Pray for me, believers!
i was lassoed by a cute filly 30 years ago, but your example is incorrect my good sir. basso is pronounce with an ahhh sound, as in the dentist asking one to say "ahhh". for more italian, may i direct you to mon ami Roberto:
