Happy Humpday

I really hate that term- it brings to mind things better left locked away- but today it was the last thing I heard from my German professor, and I was at a loss for a witty post title. So there you go.

Anywho (love this word- though I can't for the life of me remember when I started using it), on this gloriously weird day I made up (or at least I hope I did) a new word, and I heard a new twist on an old phrase:

evility: the quality or state of being evil

"He didn't really sweep me off my feet- he just picked me up and ran away." (much thanks to a dear friend for this little gem)

AND, as if these were not enough to satisfy my nerdiness, earlier this week I discovered that pedestrian can be used to describe something as being commonplace. Strange, no?

  1. ironic even, that that's not really the most commonplace usage for the word pedestrian.

    in a similar vein, have you ever noticed how phonetic isn't spelled the way it sounds?

  2. No I haven't... wow. How strange.
