No words can describe how I feel.

You're most certainly correct, BobTheWaitress. It's only fitting that such a multitude of feelings be densely expressed in numbers ...

nein! nein! nein! nein! nein! >o<

(pound on a desk for good measure)

Punch it in the nose to assert dominance!

(Seriously, this is a bad idea if you are actually being attacked by a shark. Gouge the eyes or the gills, don't try to aim for the area right above the mouth.)

I mean, if a shark comes at you in a straight line, reaching the eyes or the gills might be tough. Can't you shout to spook it away?

You want to shout underwater? If it's not close enough to get you yet, you should get out of the water, put something between you and it, or at the worst move sideways. You want to make the shark realize you are not its preferred food source.

Added yuri/lesbian tag, as the translated Chinese text states:
Alina, the sun has set... Can I have your hand?"
"Hmm? Thank you, Talulah... You've always been so kind to me."
...
"Talulah... our lips... touched..."
"Lips are warmer, isn't this warmer?".

Lmao the statue is blushing too.

Also, I am fairly certain we won't be adding a tag for this, but what is the term where the patina of a copper/bronze statue is worn off due to repeated touches and abrasure?

For example: There is a bronze male grave in france who has his crotch shiny because women kept touching it for fertility, and a female statue in ?Dutch? whose breasts are touched for good luck?

I'm not sure if there's a specific word for it, but isn't it just called "statue rubbing"?

If a tag had to be made, it'd probably have to be something like "statue burnishing" as the act of burnishing can apply to multiple things, not just this specific cultural ritual.
