What's in a word?

Jiving is oft accompanied by both jumps and wails...

 

I like me some Brian Setzer, but you have to give a nod to Louis Prima.

 

Louis for the win, but Brian for the revival.

 

Yes indeed....Barry Gibb did a great intro to that song on his guitar.

 

Here's a tricky one.

"He/she leads the group." He/she LED the group. as opposed to "leaded the group"

"He/she needs more coffee". He/she "needed" more coffee, as opposed to "ned more coffee".

That silent "A" will get ya every time.

 

I'm tired of hearing people say "The REALITY is", when the "FACT" is sounds better and more dignified(IMO of course).

 

Whenever I hear someone start a sentence that way (the reality is...), it puts me off because it seems to be code for "You're completely delusional...." Much like a Southern Lady blessin' someone's heart.

 

"Reality" TV has completely changed the meaning of reality.

 

Bless their hearts....

 

I'd love to hear what my Southern Grandmother would say to the Kardashians.

 

Lol. So would I.

 

When I hear, "Bless their heart..." I'm thinking they mean, "Bless 'em HARD!"
I don't mind folks praying *for" me, but not *AT* me. YOMV

I am recalling a department head who began a discussion of school disciplinary issues with "What is your current reality?" The teachers in the group asked him to clarify what information we were expected to provide in response, he simply repeated the question.
Consequently, I gave the following truthful answer; "I'm fat. I've got arthritis and I want to retire."

 

I think you forgot, "And this meeting stinks."

 

I think the mindset of the Dept. Head was "C'mon guys, 'reality's the word these days."

 

That was implicit.

 

Synonym..(or something similar)...love it on my oatmeal.

 

I missed "something similar" in my coffee during the family reunion trip. Glad to be sprinkling it in again.

 

Same.
