"This post!!!"
Shakespeare used it in 2 Henry VI (1:1): "So Marty must sit and fret and bite her tongue."
Don't get me started on ?'Budgy smugglers' because one of the main reasons we gossip or complain is to make ourselves look better by comparison... When you point out others faults, then you're implying that you have no such faults so you're better than others. Complaining is bragging and nobody likes a braggart. Here's another bit of sobering news: You wouldn't notice the faults in the other person if there were not also in you.
We might be excusing ourselves that it's a kind of emotional release, especially when we're seriously very upset over something or at someone... Nothing wrong with that, but I seriously would like to keep that "complaining session" short and sweet... After a night's rest, it's going to be History and you will be fine... Easier to say than do... More difficult to achieve when you face the same old thing over and over again... Gradually, you bitch more and subsequently, you'll be crowned as the Queen of Gossips...
Dum loquimur, fugerit invida
Aetas: carpe diem, quam minimum credula postero.
Which translates as:
While we're talking, envious time is fleeing: seize the day, put no trust in the future
Happy Holidays one and all
