When people say the name of an object or person, and then immediately use a pronoun and an adjective to describe such object or person. Especially when the pronoun used is "She" when referring to an object.

Examples:


The Guitar. She's beautiful.

My Uncle. He's the best.

"Yesterday we got some pizza and beer for the game. The beer was cold and refreshing. And the pizza, she was tasty."

Awesome, when I woke up today, I was wondering if I'd find out what you love.

Arcadio. He's the best!

But is it true love? Or ironic, "I just love it when jerks cut me off in traffic" love?

No. It is true love. It sounds cool. I'm not making fun of people who talk like that.

That's almost as bad as when people post links to pics of their car in their sig. ;)

I was working on a project recently with some dude who had given his laptop a name - I forget the name. We worked together in Starbucks a lot and he would ask his laptop what she wanted, and he'd buy a drink for her, or cookies- what computer doesn't want cookies? He talked to her a lot. When we were transferring files or whatever he had to introduce my laptop to his laptop. He'd come in on a Monday and talk about their weekend, they went to BestBuy and he bought her some memory or something, and how grateful she was, she was working so much better to make him happy. Etc.

The project went well, we got paid. But I sure didn't give that guy my home phone number.

I doubt he wanted it, sounds like he already had someone. :D

And that someone gives him a nice, warm laptopdance any time he wishes, while pincess ida (ida what? ida given that guy my phone number if he'd actually asked?), well, maybe she didn't have perky peripherals. ;)
