Older isn’t always synonymous with wiser. How
ever becoming “a little long in the tooth” causes a slow
down giving one more time to ponder the changes that
continue to bombard our lives.
For instance, few people have mastered all the
words in the dictionary, yet new words are being coined
and added. Currently accepted is the word “ginormous”
which means extremely large. What’s wrong with huge,
immense, or enormous? “Humongous” also makes sense.
Combining ’gin’ with ’mous.’ sounds like an intoxicated
moose!
And who can keep up with all the acronyms? Are
we such poor spellers or so swamped for time that we
haven't got time to spell out words. When reading a article
sometimes it is easy to lose track o f the essence o f a story
while trying to figure out what entity or organization is
entailed. Does anyone else belong to 1FW1M (I Forgot
What It Means)?
Are schools correct to suggest life style choices
such as issuing contraceptives for middle school students?
A less debatable ruling towards decency would be that boys
wear suspenders to prevent a complete “drop down” for
those with the crotch of their pants dangling around the
knees. Girls are also redefining their waists to somewhere
near the hipbone. Perhaps they too could use suspenders
since we don’t need to know if they are wearing thong
underwear. Whither it’s a dress-up or casual occasion,
holey jeans and baggy shirts take center stage.
How about a school board who banned school
dances because student dancing was thought to be too
suggestive? Shades o f Elvis Presley back when it was
thought that his hip-grinding moves were disgraceful.
Kids emulate what they see from the suggestive moves of
performers like Madonna to the risque routines o f dancers
on TV shows.
Talking about dirty dancing, I recall when people
used to think native dances were a bit weird and uncivi
lized. Their gyrations don't hold a candle to the hip-hop
dancers who spin around on their heads. Someone needs to
supply them with padded helmets before they end up with
brain concussions. These back-flipping athletes deserve a
place in Olympic competition.
When it comes to everyday appearances, both sexes
give new meaning to fashion statements. Men who are
perhaps trying to grow a beard present scruffy, whiskery,
faces that looks like they were too lazy to shave. As to
men’s hair, everything goes from shaved heads to rooster
topknots, hay shocks or long hair. Just as perplexing is the
long, straggly hair fashion causing women to constantly
push hair off their faces in order to see or be seen. Hair bar
rettes do keep hair in place, that’s why they were invented.
The shaggy dog or the “I just got out o f bed” looks are not
what I call flattering.
I can only ponder why dressing up for women
means wearing a BARE minimum o f clothing while their
male counterparts often swelter in shirts, ties and jackets.
If women truly wanted to conserve energy on this planet,
they could try adding to their attire thus facilitating lower
room temperatures. Somehow, someway, there could be a
happy medium between a bikini and a Bedouin robe. If it’s
true that you are what you eat, then no wonder some o f us
resemble stuffed turkeys. Happy Thanksgiving!
