Looking back at the history of new words, I've realised that there's plenty of words we dare type and write out but never dare to say out loud. Like for instance thingamijig. What in the good name of english history is that, i hear you ask? It's actually just a thing. Or thingy, to all you text messaging lightning fingers. There's plenty of unmentionables going around, and i bet its probably because we're too lazy to speak the proper words. Like how birthday evolved to bday. And Valentines became Vday. And how dictionary became- ok nevermind. Talk about tongue exercise. Lift up that 5 pound tongue stud! again! again!
Really, I don't understand why people have to come up with colorful words like kahoona! and egad! in their writings when they know they'll never say it outta their mouths. Probably cuz it increases the potential for showers of blessings with their spittle. And maybe the occational flying wonder denture.
If we're gonna keep on using these writers' unmentionables, I think we should say them out loud too. But to prevent moments of booboo, maybe scientists should invent a bib-like thing to catch all our spittle or whatever it is that flies out of our mouths. We should call it the "Watch out! Unmentionable coming through" bib. Now that's coolio, dontcha think?
