Black and blue vocabulary lesson
I decided to enrich the vocabulary of my coworkers by reviviving archaic words and phrases. Words like somewhither and methinks are once again being used in my workplace. Yesterday I dug out the word queer meaning odd or unusual. I started approaching colleagues and saying things like "That's a queer way to swing a hammer." or "That is a queer looking shirt." My favorite so far is "All those tattoos make you look queer."

Well, I growed up reading Louis L'Amour and I've taken to saying 'howdy' instead of 'hi,' 'hello' or 'go to hell.'
I cannot EVEN tell you how much I love you! Thanks for killing me again.
P.S. You guys ever going to read MY blog again?
