I need help to decide a text for a design

This is already in the critique section, I'm just asking for help to decide which of this texts would be funnier/clearer:

Sorry dear, but the magic is gone!

or

Sorry dear, but the CHEMISTRY is gone
there isn't more chemistry (between us)

Also, is there any idiomatic problem with the last two?

Thanks a lot for any help!!

Magic!

schleb on Feb 19 '07 at 11:49am

definitely magic :)

Petanca on Feb 19 '07 at 11:49am

Thanks ladykat :D

you think it's clearer? are the other two expressions correct, though?

Petanca on Feb 19 '07 at 11:50am

magic=2
quimic=0

=)

whats a quimic

Petanca on Feb 19 '07 at 11:51am

There was this guy in teh critiques who wouldn't understad about the magic in this context, he was all confused, that is why I was searching for somethig similar

Petanca on Feb 19 '07 at 11:52am

Frank, I wasn't sure you use this in english, I translated from spanish, means that you feel atracted to another person

Petanca on Feb 19 '07 at 11:53am

LOL, forget about all that, I was so sure of myself that I didn't even search in the dictionary

QUIMIC=CHEMISTRY

MooseDinner on Feb 19 '07 at 11:55am

Yeah, I had to google quimic and didn't get any results in english. Quimica = chemistry. I should have known that.

I think magic is better than chemistry for this design. And in general.

Petanca on Feb 19 '07 at 12:06pm

Thanks! but the expression itself even exists?

I put your house in my blog...did you see it?

Petanca on Feb 19 '07 at 12:12pm

Yes! thanks, if you need a bigger file or whatever, tell me.

MooseDinner on Feb 19 '07 at 12:15pm

Yes, chemistry has the same meaning here as magic.

Petanca on Feb 19 '07 at 12:17pm

good to know, thanx

go with the first one mate, was she stalking him too much...?
tht was bad

MrDomino on Feb 19 '07 at 12:51pm

"Chemistry" is too clunky. "The magic is gone" is much better. Whoever it was in the critiques that didn't get it should be ignored. It's clear.

MrDomino on Feb 19 '07 at 12:52pm

Also, I boo your talking food.

Boo.

Petanca on Feb 19 '07 at 12:55pm

Well I'm not going to let the condemned themes limit my imagination. so boooo you back :)

Petanca on Feb 19 '07 at 12:57pm

haha, jl, yes, that was bad.

Petanca on Feb 19 '07 at 12:58pm

Mr domino clunky=cheesy?

reallyreallyawesomeguy on Feb 19 '07 at 12:59pm

Magic

MrDomino on Feb 19 '07 at 1:35pm

Clunky is sort of slang. It means awkward in shape or size. The "chemistry" and "magic" phrases mean the same in this context, but "the magic is gone" is a more elegant and efficient way of saying what you want to say.

Thanks for the explanation!
