Okay, twice is enough...
Two times in the past 24 hours, I've seen the same bizarre mistake made with a certain word by two different people.
The word that is intended to be used is "sashay" and it's being spelled "sachet", which is a kind of "old lady perfume" from what I gather reading Stephen King. Therefore, it's impossible for someone to "sachet" across a room. They can "sashay" while WEARING "sachet", but, unless they reeeeeally stink, they can't "sachet" across a room and if they did stink that bad that they did "sachet" across said room, you'd call it "funk" or "body rot" or something. Okay?Can we please stop this now?
Thank you.

A sachet is, iirc, a little cloth package of stinky herbs & stuff. Usually like a little bag like one might drop in an underwear drawer (not THIS one. But one nonetheless.)
It's one of the ways hippies make themselves smell like patchouli.

Duu-UUU-de...
I like patchouli my own self.
*sam elliot look... that kinda "raised eyebrow, sidelong, 'you sure 'bout dat?' glance*
(and a grin, 'cause I love ya...)
But yeah, I do burn me some patchouli incense quite often. I just LOVE the smell of it.
And, in "The Dead Zone" (which I just happen to be re-reading (yet again) these days, Steverino says that Johnny Smith smelled his mothers sachet as she leaned over him in his hospital bed to give him a hug once he awakened from his four and a half year coma.
I just kinda figgered it was her perfume.
Never in a million years would I have thought that Johnny was, in addition to newly psychic, a granny-panty sniffin' weirdo...
Poor guy musta hit his widdle haid harder'n he thought he did.
*lmao*
Must be some strong shit, sachet must be, to be smelled through clothes from undies, like a flowery fart...
And, as for the "package" of "stinky herbs"...
Yes, please. I'll take two, even...
"Sticky" is good too.
As is "red-haired".
With large lumps in it.
Don't know as I'd be puttin' it in my underwear drawer (I have a special place for stinky, sticky, red-haired, lumpy herbs and it ain't a drawer or the kitchen *giggle*), especially as an "air freshener", which, by the way, if a person requires an air freshener in a drawer fulla (hopefully) clean undies, they must have some maaaajor issues, but I'm SURE I'd find a good use for it anyway...
