SuperBowl Review and the Top 10 Romantic Comedies Of All Time!

Dear Pennies & Pallers,
 
This week’s first letter kicks off a conversation about obscure sex terms - you might want to consult Urban Dictionary. Our Pen Pal wants to know: when do you ask what a new sex term means, and when do you just pretend to understand it?
 
In our second letter, a Pen Pal asks how we respond to the all-too-familiar feeling of being let down by our heroes.
 
We also discuss: terrible ASMR, having a #RRGT, thieves, Tiger Woods, and many, many sex terms.
