"Oi'm nawt dead!" "Oh, shut up, ya big bybee---you will be in a minute!"
[Sometime around 5-2012]
To go along with the post heading: just a bit of an attempt to quell the rumors of my demise. They were exaggerated, albeit not greatly. Thanks, Mr. Clemens. Anyway, if there is anyone out there who missed me---what is wrong with you?!!
As I have managed [prior to this entry, at least] to commit only 1 post to this blog, the procedure for doing it has not yet been imprinted on my engrams. Hey, learned a new word from my daughter, a college freshman [or "freshperson" as I, & one other seriously disturbed soul with whom I shared a house during my 5th undergrad year, used to say, as we were right there at the beginning (ca. 1973-74) of the wholesale overhaul of the English language, so as to render it less gender-biased/specific] who is nearing the completion of her first year as a collegian. The word is "memes" which, prior to 4-27-12, I had never heard in usage at all, and then which I proceeded to hear later that same day on a TV program. The TV show stated that the word means a "unit of social information", or something like that. My daughter had given me examples of what she considered to be "memes". Alas, I forgot to write them down.
No matter---by the time this post is being finished [7-13-18], you will doubtless know many more examples than you could possibly want. You're welcome.
