    I am outraged that someone would encounter a racial slur in New York, especially in Brooklyn. What a nightmare.

    I'm outraged that the turn this thread has taken has lodged dueling songs in my head

    "Lady! You bring me up when I'm down!"
    as sung by The Commodores

    vs.

    Magnetic Fields from 69 Love Songs

    "Fido, your leash is too long
    You go where you don’t belong
    You’ve been digging in the rubble
    Gettin’ bitches in trouble
    Fido, your leash is too long

    Fido, your leash is too long
    I don’t know where I went wrong
    You scare me out of my wits
    When you do that Shitzhu
    Fido, your leash is too long"

    I may be wrong, but, upon revisiting my reading comprehension workbooks, I think I spotted a few irrelevancies, and a string of almost coquettish skirtings around the title of "Girlfiend."
    Absolutely, there were "irrelevancies". Or, as I said in the OP, "I'll tell the whole story to allow for all possible interpretations." In other words, I put all the potentially mitigating circumstances in to allow for crazy lady to be given the benefit of the doubt. Learn to read, yo.

    The special lady/lady friend tags are Big Lebowski references, in keeping with my signature quote.

    Oh! I never got this reference, and clearly others didn't either. Thank you for explaining. You gotta admit all the special lady stuff would sound weird if one didn't know what you were going on that way for.

    me neither
    I think it's one of those male cultural phenomena, like quoting The Godfather (Pts I - IV)

    or are there women that are huge Lebowski fans too?

    I can't quote the movie, beyond "don't make me cut off your johnson", but I'm a fan. :) I usually recognize bits and pieces.

    And like the mandala, the great ouroboros, and Jormungandr, the wheel of fortune has brought us right back where we started from.

    My special lady friend loves the Big Lebowski. The references were primarily for her to chuckle at.
