That’s one way of putting it

Tasha Robinson on Twilight:

It felt like it was being delivered in a language I don’t speak, a language where “You don’t understand, I really really really want to kill you and drink your blood, I can barely stop myself from tearing you open and feasting on your blood right now” is an accepted colloquialism for “You are cute and I like you. Would you like to go on a chaste date where we just stare into each other’s eyes a lot?”
