RANDOM MUSINGS FROM THE TOP OF THE HILL

WORDS

Yes, I love words.  One thing that's great about language is that it is fluid; ever changing, ever expanding.  You can add to it at any time.  Its fun.

Here's a new one from me.  Its a verb made with an inappropriate prefix to take the place of the normal.  You can use it on your best friend or kids - it might be a little much for a stranger.  It is EXQUEEZE as in "Well, exqueeze me"  or "Well, exqueeeeeeze me!" if you will.  Of course, it takes the place of 'excuse' and is meant to be used when passing someone in a narrow passageway or when crammed into an elevator but if you want to be squeezed, I think it could be used almost anytime.  You could use it gruffly when someone is hugging you a little bit too zealously.  Another good time would be when you're trying to get a word into a conversation with a gabaholic (like that one?).  Try it and see if you get a reaction.  If you get a smile, you've done your good deed for the day.
