Speak softly, but carry a big @

An admonition, intended for bosses, to avoid giving unpleasant news face to face, but rather save it for an email. ("@" is pronounced "at sign".)

I told everybody at last month's department meeting that the future looked bright. Two weeks later I send them all an email about the budget cuts and layoffs. It saves me listening to a lot of bitching from that bunch of peons. My daddy taught me a long time ago to Speak softly, but carry a big @!

"N- Ngh~.." Stephen moaned quietly and softly, as he felt Randy thrust deeper into him. "G- Gh– ahhh..~" He let out another small, soft whimper. He gripped the bedsheets tighter, his face red, and sweating. Stephandy. STEPHEN STOTCH x RANDY MARSH

Stephen Stotch is a dilf, a bottom, and underated. And Stephen Stotch x Randy Marsh is best ship

Colt: hi love
Alex: "N- Ngh~.." Stephen moaned quietly and softly, as he felt Randy thrust deeper into him. "G- Gh– ahhh..~" He let out another small, soft whimper. He gripped the bedsheets tighter, his face red, and sweating. Stephandy. STEPHEN STOTCH x RANDY MARSH

Colt: I'm leaving you
Alex: I drew Stephen pregnant, breastfeeding me.

Walk softly but carry a big stick

Theodore Roosevelt's way of saying do everything carefully,but always keep the strap

Michael might act timid,but he's not scared to pack heat (i.e.,walk softly but carry a big stick)

Killing Softly

Talking about people behind their back, or getting in their business with the intent of hurting them

People killing softly whenever you come up

Roughing it softly

People who go camping or to the cottage but the cottage or camper has all the amenities of home.

I love going to the cottage, we have air conditioning, wifi, satellite tv, gas fire pit and a hot tub. We love going to the cottage and roughing it softly in the wilderness.
