    my guy looks a little like mona lisa with similar ambiguity of expression. no matter where you stand in the room, he thinks you’re palestinian.

          Biannual is two years. Half a year is semiannual.

            It’s unfair that bimonthly and biweekly can mean either or, but biannual gets to be specific. I say we banish it to ambiguity like the others.

      He’s got a bit of that patented Mr Beast Combo of vacant gaze and simulated smile, too.

      Mona Lisa’s eyebrows may have faded with time, but his appear to have migrated down onto his eyelids, somehow.
