As I sit here at the computer tired but refusing to go to bed. Nothing particular on my mind, relaxed and wanting to do some of that automatic writing. I love to see where I go, it's exhilarating. I like to let er rip so to speak! Like a big ol' rip saw cutting the bark off to get to the good stuff! Yippee, yee never know what's inside! You can count the rings of the trees to see how old it be. Can't count my rings, although you can ride along with my thoughts uncovering me! That there be a frightening ride! I see so many things let alone read the newspaper that I say to myself" this don't make a lick o sense. What be sense to me, may not make sense to you. That there be the problem in a "nutshell." I haven't heard or thought that old saying in a long time.
"That's the problem in a nutshell." Have mercy, what does that mean. Them old sayings are simple and to the point that's why I love them so! Is that not called an idiom? Oh shit! I be a gettin' in awfully deep, a visitin' places I ain't never before.
I know what an idiot is, a simple, not very smart person. Hey baby that be like where's I work!
IDIOT, a foolish or senseless person. Lordy, I've hit the mother lode on this one!
IDIOMS are, literally ideas used as expressions. WHAT? ?? They develop from older usage, where the words mean something other than their literal meaning. In some cases the meaning of the original expression has been lost, or is an archaism.
ARCHAISM Old form: a word , expression, practice, or method from an earlier time that is no longer used.
ARCHAIC Outmoded, no longer useful or efficient, no longer in ordinary language, ancient.
WELL . . . ALL THESE HERE WORDS HAVE THREW ME FER A LOOP! EVERY TIME I LOOK UP A WORD ANOTHER WORD "TRIES TO DO ME IN." THERE BE SO MANY THOUGHT CONVERGING ON ME MIND RIGHT NOW AND I BE TOO SLEEPY TO ADDRESS THEM PROPERLY, SO I THINK I'LL SLEEP ON IT! DAMN! I WANT TO POST SOMETHING! WAIT A MINUTE! HOWS ABOUT I POST WHAT I HAVE AND LET ME MIND HAVE 24 HOURS TO WORK THIS ARCHAIC PROBLEM OUT. SEE RIGHT NOW ARCHAIC, AND THE OUTMODED THING BE-A-PISSIN'-ME-OFF!!! BIG-TIME!!!
As you know I did not post this. There be words here I disagree with STRONGLY, such as.
ARCHAIC. OUTMODED . . . no longer USEFUL . . . or EFFICIENT . . . no longer in ordinary language, ANCIENT . . . well now this here word, I'm about to lay on you, is probably an old one but good one. That there is "kiss my ASS!!!" ( I wonder how long that F word has been around, I shoulda used it!? )
I be an IDIOT and proud as punch to be one! I grew up on a lot o these poor people's IDIOMS. Only I never knew they were called IDIOMS. ( I grew up around a lot o IDIOTS and guess what? There be a heap more today, than ever before, and you can take that to the bank! ) I never knew, nor cared. We just called them words, sentences, simple folks have simple ways ya know. Well now I'm sure some of ya that were raised up PROPER . . . don't have the foggiest notion of what I be a sayin'?
Thank you for my morning chuckle !!! I must be old and archaic too since sometimes I don't feel so useful and I understood every word you said here !!
