Oh Sh** Prompts
By Valkyrie
We've all had moments where all we can do is say "oh, sh**" and then either brace for the inevitable or stare in disbelief as the inevitable cockily saunters past. For example, I was driving home from work one day and was sitting in my car at a red light. There was one car ahead of me. The light turned green, and the car ahead of me proceeded through the intersection. For some reason, I didn't go right away. I hesitated and allowed a good couple of car lengths between us before proceeding.- 5 comments

Oh good heavens, I already an am accident prone individual. If I ever tried writing from the perspective of a guardian trying to watch over someone like me, I'd die of guilt from the first sentence. -
I will let the dedicated experts here do their usual great, pick it apart ritual, it is beyond my pay grade. I did find couple of references, just to add my two cents worth(note, that Canada doesn't make them anymore). 1. What's your ubiety? – UBIETY 2. ubiety | Sesquiotica A note of interest, if ever I find myself in a library in China and while wandering among its' endless shelves, come across these sets of characters: in Chinese (Traditional) 所在，位置, 客觀實在… or -
Ubiety was formed by combining the Latin ubi, meaning where with the English suffix -ety. -

Quote @Valkyrie I could clearly see the driver and his passenger and the looks of terror on their faces when they realized the light was red, followed by them bursting into laughter.

Great interview! I just started doing the anthologies last year and I'm so happy I did. It gives me a chance to try new things with writing and to get a story out there that might not otherwise have made it onto the site. I'm working on this year's submission and hope to finish it up soon. -
Intuition and the intelligence to listen to it saved you. Always listen to your gut. Thank God you did this time. I'm glad you're okay. -
Did you know? Just because nugatory isn’t the most common word in the English language doesn’t mean it’s trifling. Rather, nugatory is literally trifling because the two words are synonymous, as in “comments too nugatory to merit attention.” Nugatory first appeared in English in the 17th century; it comes from the Latin adjective nugatorius, which can mean not only “trifling” or “frivolous” but also "futile.” This sense carried over into English as well, and so in some context

From the Latin nugatorius, meaning trifling or futile.
