Help[Opinions] Makes me think of bloomers
in reply to a message by AppalachianPie
Don't think I could use it at all even if I liked the sound of it. Bluma has too much teasing potential... Esp. since the dumbed down expletive bloomin' could also get thrown in there. I wouldn't use it.

Awww...
But that makes it even more appealing, since my dearly departed grandmother used to use "bloomers" when talking about underwear. She was the only person I know that used that word. Now every time I say Bluma, I'll think of my granny.
Thanks!

It must be a regional thing; I've never heard anyone use bloomers or bloomin' in actual conversation, except on TV.

I think of those fluffy little bloomers they put on babies sometimes or under dresses in old fashioned movies re: bloomers... I only hear bloomin' occasionally, but it does still come to mind enough I wouldn't easily be convinced to use the name. Prob'ly just depends on whom you hang out w/ and the topics that come up... Prob'ly not a good job for someone in charge of costumes for musical theatre.
