Vocabulary Update

UNSAVORY LANGUAGE

Years ago when I sometimes used unsavory language, I often used the expression "Bull ****." As I grew up a bit and discovered it was not necessary to use such crude language, that expression became "BS."

Q. What did I really mean when I used those expressions?
A. I meant that something was ridiculous, or idiotic or a half truth or just stupid. It covered any number or negative formats. The dictionary defines it as: nonsense; especially : foolish insolent talk...

I have decided that I no longer will use either of those expressions in the future. When I have a need to express such feelings, I will use the word "Pelosi."

Let me use it in a sentence. "That's just a bunch of Pelosi."
I encourage you to do the same. It is such a good word. It really packs a lot of punch We are no longer being vulgar. But it clearly expresses our feelings. If enough of us use it, perhaps the word could be entered into the dictionary. What an excellent legacy for the Speaker of the House!

PASS IT ON TO AT LEAST 10,000,000 PEOPLE. That's no problem here at Salisbury News. It will be delivered to at least that in one day. Get the hint fella's?

Actually, I am an old Colts fan who can't "cut the cheese" without apologizing for "Modell-ing" in public {BTW...the silent, but deadly "Modells" are definitely the worst}.

Reese Bobby, do you mean Irsaying? Irsay was the one who took the Colts out in the middle or the night.
