what does ''teenage tool for spurning'' mean?
For a fun-loving free spirit, this Zeerust dump I’d never heard of sounded like the arse-end of nowhere, about as far from family, friends, the ocean and modernity as I imagined possible. Perhaps I’d been a teenage tool for spurning the possible Navy deal.
