Nope, pistol means a fiesty lady. Sounds like our hellkitty!
Transatlantic slang terms can be tricky though. I got into trouble on another board when I asked a poster if his pencil was one of those ones with a rubber on the end. A rubber is what we call an eraser! That's all! And sometimes a pencil is just a pencil.

LOL! (and I hardly ever LOL at a computer screen) That is great!

See, I *totally* didn't get it. And the moderator went *nuts* and wiped the post and lectured me about responsibility and little kiddies who could be reading and I was all "What??? What??? What did I do???"
I was paranoid for weeks after that. But I checked and they *never* referred to rubbers in any episode of Buffy up until then (mid season six) or after that I know. Or Angel or any other US show I watched. Which wasn't much, but still. I'm not responsible for slang terms that aren't broadcast here!

Imagine getting so bent out of shape about an overshoe...

LOL DTH that is hilarious!!! I am now wracking my brain for other slang that could get you in trouble.
Ok you do know that the word queer in US refers to someone's sexual orientation right? Oh and the word fanny means your behind( rear end/best part on Mal) since for you it has a slightly different meaning:) I'll see if I can think of more for you
HUGS to you all and I am out for the night and off home to cook a meal and do a ton of laundry:)

Well put, MsG.

Now we're talking about crushes, which is weird, because I'm on both teams and yet neither at the same time (which is funny, because it sounds like we're talking about soccer).
Fake crushes:
Hm, there are many: Wolverine, Snape (ala Rickman, as he seems different than the books), Jayne, Urahara, Kyoya, Chief Tyrol (BSG), Spike Spiegel... ssshhhhhh!!! hush!! shut up! I can't help it! *snikker*
Real crushes:
There are a couple guys at work... *school-girl tee hee*
I guess I don't really have any other crushes on "celebrities" -- WHOOPS! other than this one guy, but nevermind, yeah let's get right past that, ERK! and a tiiiiny crush on Neil Gaiman but that's cuz he was such a sweetheart at lunch and stuff, but really, now, let's move on -- because I don't know 'em well enough to develop any sort of emotional opinion about them aside from what their characters present.
Random:
I had a cup and a half of green tea today. And now I find my mind wanders back to wanting the taste again.
Somewhat random but based on previous comment somewhere here...:
Never let it be said that vintage under-garments (ala Mamie Eisenhower) were/are not hawt --

Yeesh. I don't know about naming after a woman I respect but hardly know. HK is a fitting name though. As for Samaritan; I too am big, red, mean, and a smart ass. Might be a good option also.
ADD: Sara Jane you say. Seems to be a very fitting name. Strong and cute. I like it.
