Heard the slang word de lu lu for the first time today, had a feeling it meant cray cray.<\/p>\n
Amazing how new slang words come and go and popular words and expressions too.<\/p>\n
I can remember a time when cool things and cool people were heavy and something really amazing was outtasight, or it might have been far out. <\/p>\n
I can remember visiting a guru in upstate New York and a young woman who sat next to him at his talks who always said \u2013 Excellent! Excellent! ad nauseum, as if the guru had given her that word as her parrot-like mantra. Squawk. Squawk.<\/p>\n
And there was a time when bread that you put peanut butter on and even put cheese between the slices of it was considered currency.<\/p>\n
For example, \u201cHey, Man, what’s happening? You got any bread to pay for the tickets to that Grateful Dead Concert?\u201d <\/p>\n
And speaking of bread, I recall how when toast became more than bread you heated up in a toaster. And believe me if you valued your reputation or your life, you didn\u2019t want to be toast.<\/p>\n
Now I always hear people talking about seeing things through a lens or having to unpack things like topics instead of luggage.<\/p>\n
Do they need these lenses because they feel there\u2019s a lack of mental acuity in the world?<\/p>\n
And why go to the trouble of unpacking a topic when you can just talk about it? Why include that unnecessary baggage about it?<\/p>\n
But in terms of all these slang words and popular expressions, I guess it just is what it is. <\/p>\n
Later, time for me to split. <\/p>\n
