words fragments blogs

Mrs. 4444's (  da 4444 html color code written as #da4444 is a nice shade of red  ) regular fragmented Friday feature has Lisleman posting again and once again asks “What’s it all about?”

Over at the blog “I Can’t Believe I’m Not Bitter” I learned shit from shinola. I can't remember how long ago it was that I first heard that phrase. My dad or older brother probably informed that I didn't know shit from shinola. I guess they were right because until reading that post I didn't know what shinola was. There are people that think blogs are a waste of time. Well this is evidence of the learning resource blogs are.

Using the above lesson, from now on in my daily cursing I will try using shinola more in place of shit because most everyone doesn't know the difference.

I don’t know if there are any words for this next picture but I can’t remember why I downloaded it from the Belfast Telegraph.

I imagine if you crawled through shinola you would look like that.

I had a fun time at my daughter's wedding reception this year and even had an f-bomb thrown my way by a guest that couldn't see straight anymore.  It was the f-bomb with the word “off” added on.  The f-bomb in this case had the effect of making me laugh.

So where do words get their impact or weight?

Have you noticed how the same word combined with a different word has a completely different meaning.  Here's what I mean depending on what you juxtapose with the word “down” you can create new meaning.  Some examples (if you don’t know shinola you might be too young for this too):

Songs in my past encouraged me to “get down”.  But nobody wants to suffer a “turn down”.  It is an accomplishment to “get down” to the bottom of it, after which we feel like “winding down”.

I’m not the only one who thinks about words.   Watch this fun clip at the bottom.
