I was sitting visiting with a friend yesterday. When recalling what I had done the day before, I described myself sitting on the porch contemplating my navel. My friend was puzzled by my statement and needed an explanation of its meaning. This reminded me that I am getting older and saying that were popular when I was young are not all that common any longer.
Be there or be square, book it, fake out, fuzz, hang loose, heavy,
later, and sock it to me are a few more that come to mind. Every generation has its own slang. It is just one more of the many reminders that the world is in a constant state of change.
It been a very long time since I tilted a wind mill. At least I didn't say I had engaged in Omphaloskepsis.
