Discussion»Statements»Rosie's Corner» Ever use a word without really understanding its meaning and discovered you had been using it wrong all along? If so which word?
Me too SP on more than one occasion though my recall faculty is not as sharp as yours but then I'm an old lady and my memory ain't what she used to be. I think your response is hysterically funnee hunnee. In fact someone who "appears" to be meretorious might actually be meretricious. It happens! Thank you for your reply. Yes I giggled! :)
Hahahahahahahaha. OMG SP! I laughed hard again. But again perhaps your inner self "saw" the deep below reality of the person. I'm gonna share something real naughty with you. Something I've had in my head for many decades. I have NEVER said it aloud or told anyone about it.
Here goes. There is a brand of lunch meat called BOAR'S HEAD. Kinda pricey. The first time I saw it I thought of "WHORE'S BED". Why oh why did my mind go to that? So every single time I see it in a supermarket Deli showcase I see "whore's bed". I must be a very evil person. Now you know. Please don't tell anyone. I guess I've carried that secret with me since forever and needed to unload it on someone. Lucky you! When I talk about 'whores' I usually spell it "hoors" and I am always referring to politicians and I usually precede it with "money-hungry". Oy vey! What's next?.

As long as it doesn't ruin my appetite for them I'm good with it. GAY la? or GAAA La? Potayto or potahto? Tomayto or tomahto? Is it in the pronunciation that we go off the rails or something else? I've never been to a GALA but I eat Gala apples. Go figger?
