Being above freezing had the hot tub not in steaming mode, like what happens when the air goes frigid.
I was hoping to take a selfie this morning through a veil of steam.
I am appalled I used the current "selfie" slang. I generally have an aversion to slang. I know not from whence this aversion comes.
I remember decades ago cringing when someone said "groovy" unless that word was used sarcastically or ironically. In this century the word "groovy" does not annoy me because it is no longer a slang word. "Groovy" has faded to antique status, like saying something like "bee's knees".
Another current slang word usage that I find annoying is when someone says this that or the other thing was a "good read". Does this annoy me because it is just bad grammar? Or what? I have no idea.
Yesterday I was appalled on Facebook when I read a borderline senior citizen begin a Facebook post with the slang phrase "This is dope."
I commented to the "dope" comment advising that I felt this person was much too old to be saying things like "this is dope." The "dope" poster hit the like button on my comment. I hope this means he drops "this is dope" from his vocabulary.
Well, none of this groovy dope talk has anything to do with wishing everyone a Very Merry Christmas.
So, I shall end this good read with yet one more MERRY CHRISTMAS, this time in shouting capitals mode....
MERRY CHRISTMAS
