WordPress provides lots of helpful statistics for bloggers to obsess over track, one of which is the search terms that have brought people to your blog. These are some of the searches that have brought people to Thought Snax. I can only imagine their surprise when they went searching for, say, bride shoes and got a mildly obscene truncated rewrite of the Federal Rules.

* I think WordPress cuts off at a certain number of characters, and that this referred to the phrase “we are here especially to seek your forgiveness,” in a quote from Iman Rauf. I had a moment of hilarity, though, when I read it as “we are here especially to seek your frog.”

Wishing I had found this blog by searching “addlepate” myself–did you really use this word, ’cause I can’t find where.

(oops–hit “submit” too early) And a word like “addlepate” totally needs more use. What a great word!

I didn’t. Or “bride.” But I completely agree re: addlepate. Will immediately add to my active vocabulary!

I don’t have the wide vocabulary of you elitetists (?sp??) but I have phrases left over from my southern kin:
Root, pig or perish (as in “you gotta root, pig or perish)
Running around like a chicken with his head cut off (as in “crazy”)
Get up and hear the beautiful birds sing praise the Lord to God (when parents want you out of bed)
Followed by “Hoot tate Hoot…”(Tim can explain)
Oooh, Law! (as in “I cannot believe it!”)
Lookey yonder (as in “Look”

Continued from above. Lately, I hear the expression “Having said that” or “that being said” which means “Now for the bad news”
My favorite parental southern expression that I leave you with.
“Na (now) honey. Everthin’s gonna be awwww right.” followed by a tuck into bed.

More stuff to add to my vocabulary! My Dad had some good southern expressions, like “that went over like a bucket of cold mutton fat!”

I grew up with (and hope passed along to Amy & Bruce) “Don’t teach your grandmother to suck eggs.” Meaning: don’t tell me how to do something that I obviously already know how to do.
