It Really Sucks

...to get a three-day headache when D is out of town. I got X back and forth to school, only vomiting once. I canceled Pilates and the cleaner. Sue brought over my local headache cure: P Terry burger and a coke. P Terry is an "organic" hamburger drive through. If only they has some wholesome buns. But for the headache cure, pulverized protein, smooshy carbs, and a coke are necessary components. It's not a 100 percent cure, but it did help me make it through the afternoon. Maybe a good night's sleep....HAHAHAHAHAH

Maybe a few hours will help.

I hope you feel better very soon (or are already). In college, I used your cure many times for hangovers. It seemed to work well.

Change the language, change the world.

Why use that s word in that manner? As metaphor to connote something unwanted, despised, etc.? Consider the implications, the analogy you are making.

smooshy?

SF Mom of One said...

Yeah--smooshy. That's my changing the world by changing the language.

Ken Sternberg said...

I think the whole language substitute idea really smooshes, man.

As you seem to have some mathematical bent, lets try a little formula to examine your use of "sucks" a wee bit. A:B::A':B' where A:B stands for a common, persistent, therefore instinctively understood, experience, a relation of two items, events, which has been carried over as metaphor to structure language and hence feeling, thought, imagination.

Day:night for example. For millennia and more, such a pervasive, definitive experience for our species, and those before, that it seems embedded in our nervous system. And more, embedded in our language. Day:night::knowledge:ignorance and also light:darkness::good:bad and so on and on ... consider all the ways, variations in our everyday speech. Simple but omnipresent more than we may want to acknowledge. And how thoroughly do we have to confine our minds to this analogy?

Another common experience: sex. Consider the most conventional male-action:female-action and how this has been carried over into the realm of moral valuation, judgment. Who does what, and why attach negative connotations to one side of that relationship? Is there a misogyny and homophobia embedded in our language?

Why try to remake the language? We have little control over the randomness which has shaped us until we reach alleged adulthood, but then we can work on a second self: how do do we want to be, feel, think, imagine, become?
