STEAMPUNK complements

I realised this weekend, while attending STEAM-CON that steampunks are the only people to whom you can say, "I like your tubes." and it not be taken the wrong way.
By the by, we greatly impressed (and hopefully educated) the staff at the Sea-Tac Marriott, by our dress, and our manners.
My complements to all.

Aye, when I use the word "fetching," my meaning is quite dependent on whether I am speaking of a pretty young lady, or of my bird dog.
A nicely turned ankle is not a description of an injury, either.

Ah, are you then implying that the ankle was made by an expert lathe-user?

Just because a young lady may be a monoped, it is certainly no bar to having a nicely turned ankle.
Looks will fade, but skills will only hone over time.
Calling a young lady a brazen hussy is therefore merely a complement to her welding skills.

Or those of her maniacal creator!
