So, dictionaries keep finding their way into my hands, which I took as a sign. But look at what I've found:

EAMES
Pronunciation (US): i:mz
EAMES (noun)
1. United States designer noted for an innovative series of chairs (1907-1978)
Familiarity information: EAMES used as a noun is very rare.
Instance hypernyms:
decorator; designer; house decorator; interior decorator; interior designer; room decorator (a person who specializes in designing architectural interiors and their furnishings)


Legitimate entry in a dictionary, and all! However, I want to submit a different meaning, considering my vast, thorough research into the matter:

EAMES [i:mz]
adj. Eamesier, Eamesiest
1. Said of a surly, yet (relatively) stylish, rake with a tendency to get in the good graces of anyone despite all instincts warning towards the contrary. 2. A precarious mix of cynicism, imagination and smarminess. 3. Said of a person with a disposition towards changing their mood from lots of fun to the world is ending and everything is a trap in under two comments.


I propose we push this forward as a City-wide accepted definition. All in favour, say-or-type aye.

[ooc; That first definition is real, I shit you not. (He had it coming.)]

You mean the first definition or the second?
withloadedguns: (I did it all for the money and fame)

And here I was, hoping for the first one.

[He wants to refer to Eames as a chair. Because...reasons.]
withloadedguns: (All that I learned)

No. Not really.

[He had a chair yell at him once, during a curse. But he didn't yell back. He doesn't yell at chairs.]

Guess I'll go with the second one.

[No. Never. I refuse. You can't make me.]

It is.
withloadedguns: (That's what I want to talk to you about)

[personal profile] withloadedguns 2012-11-22 12:25 am (UTC)(link)
So I can say someone's acting eamesy now.
withloadedguns: (Noble is nothing but feeling no shame)

All right.
