I have a list of new definitions, that were in the Washington Post a few days back. I didn't cut and paste the list, because I can't remember how to do it, so I ripped the list out of the newspaper, yes Antlady showed me how, a few months back, on a different blog, but there was a fire, and everything was lost on my blog. I am not allowed near matches anymore, so hopefully this blog will be fire-proof.
Right the Washington Post asked readers for alternative meanings for common words, and here is the readers responses-:
Coffee - The person upon whom one coughs.
Flabbergasted - Appalled by discovering how much weight one has gained
Abdicate - To give up hope of ever having a flat stomach
Esplanade - To attempt an explanation while drunk
Willy-nilly - Impotent
Negligent - Absent-mindedly answering the door wearing only a night-gown
Lymph - To walk with a lisp
Gargoyle - Olive flavoured mouthwash
Flatulence - Emergency vehicle for people who get runover by a steamroller
Balderdash - A rapidly receding hairline.
That's it, just trying to bring humour to the opposite of masses, whatever that is? Minorities maybe?
So I'm just trying to bring a tad of frivolity to the minority. Cheers....

If it's cold outside you can put on some extra clothing, or stay indoors where it's nice and warm. It is your choice. You can stay inside your little cocoon, only venturing out when it is safe to do so. However when is it safe? Is it safe to go out in your car, to the shops maybe, when there are other vehicles on the road? Is it safe to send our kids off to school when there might be some bad people out there that may want to hurt them? Is anything safe? If we sit down and think about everything before we do it, then maybe, we'd never do anything at all, we certainly wouldn't talk to anyone, they may have some disease, or they may be carrying a weapon, and want to hurt us. Most of us, don't do that, most of us know that there are dangers out there, but don't let them affect our daily lives too much. It's like this blogging lark, you may type in a post, put it on show for all the world to see ( yes that's what happens, although most of the world won't read your blogs) then if you get a comment that disagrees with you, or a comment that you find hurtful, what do you do? You could answer the comment, ignore it, try to understand why the comment was made, like was it something in your post that offended the commentor? Does the commentor have a different sense of humour? All these things can be acted upon, but really, why are we here? To tell the world all about our daily lives? To lie about ourselves? To put forward ourselves as a person that we'd really like to be, rather than who we are? I'm not in my seventies, I'm in my forties ( but look no older than 25) I do have a disability, I don't get out much, I suffer from bouts of depression, I get a lot of pain from my back and legs on a daily basis. I try to be positive, try not to make my weblog postings too serious, try to have a bit of fun in this virtual world of ours, because sometime the real world ain't much fun.
So that's me, I've laid myself naked for all the world to see ( but I'm covering up my dangly bits, so no photographs please) So maybe now we can all stop crying and just get on with our lives. I know that I will.....
