Adorkable

I'd never heard the term till I saw pat_t's new icon, and now I've come across another icon using it. Weird.

Really? I see it all the time in SPN-dom.

Mischief said she saw it in SGA fandom. I'd never heard it before.

I was about to say, between SGA & SPN fandoms, I've seen it a lot. But I see other people have already mentioned the same experience. ;)

Maybe I'd seen it and it never leapt out at me. I think I noticed it this time becuase it was on a tea comm on a non fannish icon [g]

[meredevachon]

That makes sense. Seeing it outside it's usual context may have made it more noticeable.

I guess we don't get out much [g]

I think it jumped out at me this time because it was on a tea comm on a non fannish icon.

I used to see it quite a bit in regards to Willow back in my Buffyverse days.

I occasionally see it in Doctor Who fandom, too.

Like the othes, I've seen it in SGA primarily (after all, we've got so many adorable, geeky dorks in the series), but I suspect that as with so many turns of phrase, once you start using it, it tends to follow you into various conversations!

Huh!

[ithildyn.livejournal.com]

And now it's registered, I'll keep seeing it all over!

This is my official Adorkable icon... *grins* Ben Browder's too cute.

[ithildyn.livejournal.com]

Cute!

Well, I think I first came across it about 3 to 4 years ago in the SGA fandom, and have been using it since, especially when talking to fellow fangirls. ;)

Sadly, I do not have an adorkable icon.

Our very own Anne uses that term for Wilson all the time! Where ya been? ;-)

My brain must have been reading it as 'adorable'.

I'm always behind the times :)
