Hopefully they don't give her the disrespect of making it for services to broadcasting, which are a dime a dozen.

They both come back to the verb “to rue” (to pity or regret). Most familiar in the phrase “you’ll rue the day that…” To be “ruthless” means acting without any rueing: no pity or regret for what damage one’s actions are causing to others. Once there was the noun form “ruth” (something like “he displayed much ruth after his mistake”) but that has left the language completely, leaving “ruthless” hanging.

Always a pleasure seeing Susie on shows and because she's always so composed, it's great when you see her lose it on Catsdown.

Her vids explaining the derivations of swear words are brilliant! As was this interview! Looking forward to some new Catsdown

Susie is brilliant! Not willingly controversial just armed with a sharp wit and funny beyond her reality

Scurryfunging sounds exactly like an American practice. 👍👍👍👍👍 Susie is my hero. I went and looked up "funge," and apart from the fact that there is a newly coined (pun intended) usage for funge based on fungible (digital) assets, funge is a Latin root indicating "to perform an action," with the added sense of it being a "quick fix" kind of action. It's a perfect term.

She is awesome .
