The Last Shall be First

[Gyppo]

Get over it, sixty is the new forty ;-)

[Alice, a Country Gal]

Forty years ago I was forty years younger and more reticent.

[heidi52]

Reticent was never in my repertoire, but I was a lot bolder forty years ago.

Ago was the shortened nickname of the motorcycle racer Giacomo Agostini, who, in the days before PC nonsense, was, due to his colourful racing leathers when most riders still wore plain black, cheerfully referred to as The Dayglo Dago.

[Alice, a Country Gal]

Dago is generally used as slang for this or that person but it is also an acronym for Department of the Army General Officer.

"Officer, I have an important meeting to attend; I must not be delayed," said the pompous ass to the policeman writing the speeding ticket.

[Gyppo]

Year end recriminations lead to some pretty stupid new year's resolutions.

[Gyppo]

Resolutions are necessary when the original solution failed to deliver the goods.

[Alice, a Country Gal]

Goods, new or used bought and sold right here on a daily basis.

[Gyppo]

Basis is a damned funny word to use at the start of a sentence.

[Alice, a Country Gal]

Sentence structure gets twisted into some odd shapes here and elsewhere.

[Gyppo]

Elsewhere on the net there are probably other 'circles' populated by people who behave in a logical and sensible manner, who just use words instead of playing games with them, but I don't think I want to visit those dark corners with their poor benighted residents.

[Spell Chick]

Residents sounds so much nicer than inmates.

[Reader123]

Inmates are the unhappy people, where are the happy wonderful people hiding.
