  • Not tonight honey, I've got a headache/toothache/pain-in-the-ass

    ...to which the standard response should be, 'why don't you take some
    painkillers. Wait let me fetch you a glass of water'.

    So I was lying in bed last night thinking which is the best sounding language to say 'no I'm not in the mood' nicely. I think Swahili 'sitaki' is a little too harsh. Same for English 'NO'. That small word is so final it might put someone off you for a long time. I think 'nyet' (Russian) has a nice ring to it. Like I'm not in the mood today so please don't even touch me just go to sleep, yet. It's a no with a maybe. The hope to keep the fires burning until the other party just falls asleep...

    Of course you could just elbow them or kick out!
