    One of the first times I hung out with my friend, who is asexual, they were headed to Fred Meyer’s (Kroger) to buy caulk, which they pronounced with the ‘L’ sound; they also would say something that sounded very intentionally phrased: They’re looking for a particular brand of caulk.

    It wasn’t until like two years later that they confirmed it was because if they said it the usual way/said “I need caulk” everyone in ear shot would turn into a 10 year old boy.

      There's a rubber tipped tool that's supposed to be for smoothing caulking into corners called a Caulk Buddy. Always makes me laugh.
