LANGUAGE

Of course, languages interest me very much.  I have too much trouble with English to learn any others.  English words keep me plenty busy. 

I came across a Japanese word that I just love.  Most words in English embody a single thought.  I'm told that Chinese symbols convey meanings beyond just a single meaning but a complete thought. 

Okay, this is what I'm talking about.  I really have no idea if this is correct but it is so beautiful that I hope it is.  I use it all the time now.  The word is "KUCHISABISHII".   Kuchisabishii is not hard to say.  Break it down:  "Coo chee sa beesh ee'."  At least that's the way I say it.  I have no reference to go by.  Here's the definition I have:  "I'm not hungry but I'm eating something because my mouth is lonely."  Is that great or what?  The "lonely mouth" thing is a little far out but it conveys the idea.  One eats, sometimes, for no good reason except to pass the time . . . or just because it's been a long time since you've eaten last.  

It's sad but it does happen.  Does it happen to you?  

Now it sounds like the words a mother says to her young child when tickling and trying to induce laughter - "koochie koochie koo"  or "coochie coochie coo."  Babies eat all the time - sometimes it's only food that keeps them quiet.  I'm the same way.

Please never tickle me!
