Ever seen Detroit Rock City? I called someone a "greasy disco ball" the other day (jokingly? maybe?) and remembered that I had gotten this perfect specimen of an insult from that movie. Anyway, the rock-vs.-disco thread throughout the film makes it feel relevant to this conversation.

Tobias has noticed that Natasha Lyonne is in Detroit Rock City so I guess we will be watching it now

Syncopated knotweed! Genius.

Thank you! I was very pleased with. I did have another phrase I was slightly too pleased with, saying disco spread like a ‘novel gyratory virus’ but Ro cut it on the entirely sensible grounds that it was too obscure

She is a good editor!

The best. Always makes everything significantly better. Sadly I am a terrible editor but fortunately she’s a terrific writer and rarely needs editing. Basically all works out very well for me.
