Ah, subtext.
In essence, Brigid is a goddess of transformation, and smiting is perhaps the clearest example of this.
What, me, annoyed at something? Why do you ask? (Or perhaps that ought to be “still annoyed at something”, or “more of a similar something”.)
Smite is such a lovely word. Of Germanic origin, you know, giving us our Anglo-Saxon word “smith”, meaning “to hit”. Lots. Against something hard. Perhaps I will begin using this word more frequently. As in, “Move or I will smite you.” Or, “Stop telling me you know me better than I do, relative stranger, or there will be smiting.” Or perhaps, “Say one more thing about how I work — or worse, should work — and you will find yourself smitten.”
Well, we’re all ready smitten with you.
There was this character Biff had in Dark Champions who had one power, a transformation power. If he hit you with this power, he would transform you from living to dead.
Pretty efficient workaround, I thought.
I love you guys.
Smite, and the world smites with you.

Does Brigid have a “smite” key on her keyboard? I think all keyboards should come with one. I definitely need a “smite” button at work.
There’s a “smite” option? Why didn’t I get the “smite” option on my keyboard? It would certainly come in handy.
Smite, and the world smites with you.
This is what I love about my firends. They cheerfully suit up and keep you company in smiting.
damnit, I was beaten to the punch!
HOWEVER, I am in actual possession of a Far Side cartoon with god at his computer, on the screen a man walking underneath a piano being held by ropes, and god’s finger over the smite button. priceless!
