Well, sort of. Until fairly recently, it had a strong implication of nasty/tawdry, and possibly even assault. In fact, the first time I heard it used in a "nice" manner, I was shocked. (Admittedly, I grew up pretty sheltered. I was at least 12 or 13 before I found out that "snafu" didn't stand for System Normal, All Fouled Up. wink )

Do you know the most surprising thing about divorce? It doesn't actually kill you, like a bullet to the heart or a head-on car wreck. It should. When someone you've promised to cherish till death do you part says, "I never loved you," it should kill you instantly.
