The checkers at the supermarket call women older than themselves "sweetie".  They call women younger than themselves "baby". :lol:

Our waitress the other day at lunch (who was in her 40s) called my boss "baby".  He's 59, with a full head of really white hair.  I almost shot Diet Coke out of my nose.

It's not like this side has ever been very active. I guess I've slacked off on my "random etymology of the day" thread.

Do you know what would help this side?  If you got laid off again.

Well, I am not working anymore.  But Jon Boy tends to be annoyed with my position that modern English is actually Latin. ;)

I'm not sure what you even mean by that.

I guess it was a straw man jab at yourYour English Blog.  After all, you do say you don't hate Latin as much as some people.

I left an important word out of this second statement which completely changed its meaning.  I couldn't figure out why Jon Boy doing what mph suggested would help get this side jumping again.

Wow, that made me go beyond snorting to a voiceless velar fricative.

I skipped the key word too, JT.  Made Jon Boy's response to Porter's post all the more entertaining, I have to say.
I wish more people were able to be like me.

I hope you have a wonderful adventure in Taiwan. Not a swashbuckling adventure, just a prawn flavored pringles adventure.

That smiley doesn't really go with an exclamation point, I think.

No new posts since May 18th.  Just sayin, is all.

I should really do something with my novel.

I should really do a lot of stuff.
