Someone on the messge boards uses th word "paramour." I thought that term was obsolete, and have never heard that word except in older movies. It does have a nice sound to it, though. 


And, like so many French words, "paramour" is exquisitely precise: it means "side love."

I realize that my occasional use of groovy is no longer trendy making it cheugy like ship lap and Paris Hilton.  Cheugy (chew-gee)  = Passé.

The name feels right but all wrong. Sort of feels like wearing my own shoes, but on the wrong feet.

@x Hedge   I thought it might be Hedge.  LOL

 

I used Cakers3 at one of the upgrades at one time.  I cannot change back because it says Cakers is already used by another customer. ???

I say *Two shakes of a lamb's tail* alllll the time.  Sue Ann Nivens (Betty White) used it and I have since.

 

Lucy always said *wondaful* and so that's how I say it.  Do I need to explain who Lucy was?

@x HedgeAny input on the thread topic...slang terms?


See post #4...

 

As for me, I always thought 'groovy' was ridiculous. 'Cool' had it's day but for me, it's over. Never liked 'awesome', it's over-used. I still like 'neat' and I have no problems recognizing a 'hot' man...
