I prepared this Saturday and posted but something went wrong because it did not publish. It was too much fun to not try again although it is not Saturday. I know I posted because it went to my Facebook with an “oops” page not found.

Linda G. Hill has opened up the subject of words to us for SoCS, specifying words we don’t like, or favorite words, or just words that bug us.  Plenty of choice, so here I go!

I’m from the generation who was shocked when Clark Gabel said “damn” in Gone With the Wind.   From there we have hit the low of literary lunacy.

Some particular “word” awards:

The Peevish Award:  “whauu-tever” for the one who goes along to get along (whatever)

The Illiteracy Award:   the f-word for limited vocabulary ability

The “Failed Grammar” Award: “f-word” used as every part of speech

The Sinners Award:  for those who use the Creator’s name in disrespect

The Western Award:  “dang” like in “that dang horse bucked me off”

The Newsbreaker Award:  Using  “race” “racist” “racism” in thirteen 1-minute segments

The  Best Creative Word Award:  “white supremacy”

The “Don’t Bug Me” Award:  Why should I tell you “Whatsup?

The “Trite Phrase” Award:  “at the end of the day”

Well, Folks, I’m dang near out of Awards so “at the end of the day” “when all is said and done” and we are now “on the same page” I’m going to see “whatsup” with my family.
