Fortune Cookie

Had chinese food for dinner, got my fortune cookie:

You have a reputation for being straight foward and honest.

That's a new one to me.

I know several gay, forward and honest men. Then again, there is that differnce between reputation and reality...

hugs - that is so "you"

grammar snark:

straight-forward!!!

[dagibbs.livejournal.com]

counter-snark: straight, forward and honest

I just quoted the cookie.

P.S. The dictionary spells it as straightforward, no hyphen.

[horsetraveller.livejournal.com]

Is straight forward the same as straight?

[dagibbs.livejournal.com]

Well, depends on how you fix the sentence...

Is it straight, forward, and honest? In which case I'm straight, but also aggressive. Or is it, as the cookie probably intended, straightforward and honest?

Or, were you thinking as in "gayly forward" rather than "straight" for directions?
