There are just some things out there that defy explanation, even to a female such as myself. I say that because female logic is far different than actual logic.
We all know this. Best to acknowledge and move on.
Why do some gals wear pink camouflage clothing? Are they hunting flamingos? Cotton candy? What??
Why is the word “asked” pronounced “axed” by some people? I don’t live in an episode of The Walking Dead.
Why do people ask if they can be honest with you? Wouldn’t you rather be slapped by the truth than kissed with a lie?
Why do kids insist on saying YOLO? You live every day. You die only once.
Anyway, I have been writing this ENTIRE post for over four hours. Actually more like six hours. I lost track of time and forgot I had been writing this morning. I blame Pinterest. And the dogs. Maybe a few squirrels as well. Hope y’all had a pleasant day 🙂

Pink camouflage is excellent for car burglars at a Mary Kay convention.

Full disclosure: I used to be a Mary Kay™ consultant, and the first time I ever saw pink camo was at a Mary Kay convention in Dallas back in the spring of 1997.
I wept.

“Why do kids insist on saying YOLO?”
And listening to Lady Gaga… and watching vapid reality shows… and texting while walking… Damn kids! Get off my lawn! 😀

Whenever I hear someone say ‘Axe a question’ shivers and chills run up and down my spine worse than any fingernails on a chalkboard.

I corrected a young lady I overheard while washing my hands in a mall bathroom once. I was lucky to escape intact.

I want to know why “Twilight” gets top notice when “Tucker and Dale vs. Evil” barely gets credit for anything.

And you keep praying for Blade to show up and put an end to the Twilight Saga and it keeps not happening. THAT is true evil.

April 24th, 2014 at 8:12 PM
This and Minecraft 🙂

That’s it, I’m getting a YODO tattoo.
As for the linguistic shenanigans of “axed” and the like there’s actually an interesting and sadly ironic story behind them. I’ll try to condense. The American Deep South was largely settled by folks from a very poor & rustic region betweenish England and Scotland. Not quite Scots and not quite English. They had a regional way of speaking different from both that made it’s way to the U.S. with them among other things.It’s long since died out in the U.K. Yes, pronunciations like “axed” was a part of it. Basically it’s Original Redneck-ese. Of course black slaves picked up this way of speaking from the slave owners. After the war many of the former slaves moved to northern urban areas where their descendants continue to speak this way as well as those still in the south. Now this so-called “Ebonics” dialect fiercely clung to as being “authentically” black and not “talking like white people” is a sad legacy they carry around from the very white people who treated them the worst.
I got this from Thomas Sowell’s Black Rednecks & White Liberals. If I was Emperor of Everything everyone would be required to read it before they would be allowed to graduate high school.

That’s what I learned in my Linguistics classes. Sadly, the usage has risen dramatically in the past generation.
April 24th, 2014 at 8:07 PM
If I had MY way, everyone would be required to read before graduating from high school, period. In English.
April 24th, 2014 at 8:12 PM
Heh 😀

Your command of English as a second language is inspirational, Sith. You speak better English than I do.
I never once noticed you using “axed” unless you meant to, like “Then I axed him in the head, the damn liberal zombie.”
In the spirit of Mitchell’s resolution, I shall get a “T&DvsE” tattoo.
