Paul’s Awesome English Dictionary: Today’s Word – Tarma

Posted on June 18, 2024 by pauldelancey

How many times has this happened to you? You’ve been mean to someone. Moments later, the sky rains down cows. One of them lands on your foot. That’s karma. Or you foil a bank robbery by tripping the thieves as they head to their getaway car. Moments later, you find a shiny quarter on the sidewalk. That’s karma, too.

We all know what happens whenever you do something really evil and vicious.  Two cows rain down on your head. Well all know this as CARMA. Don’t want that.

But what happens when you act really, really nice to some people? What happens then? Why you’ll receive a free, incredibly tasty taco.

If only there were a word to describe this wonderful type of karma. And now we have.

Paul’s Awesome English Dictionary: Today’s Word – Biobe

Posted on May 24, 2024 by pauldelancey

There are so many tiny things in the world! How are we expected to know what they’re called? And single-cell organisms, why they’re are billion types of them. We can’t possible know and remember their names. And why should we care? Because biology professors test our knowledge of them. Because the CDC puts out bulletins about how to avoid some deadly virus, bacteria, whatever, but we can’t remember what the CDC called what. Then newscasters terrify us with the latest terrifying microscopic thing. The newscasters won’t remember the name either, but they will have scared the bejeebus out of us, just the same.

We need a name to describe little thingamabobs. And now we have.

Paul’s Awesome English Dictionary – Today’s Phrase: Nasal Excavation

Posted on February 29, 2024 by pauldelancey

How many times has this happened to you? You’re at a party you didn’t really want to attend. You gravitate to a corner of the room. You have nothing to do to pass the time. So you pick your nose. Even though you’re minding your business, some oaf shouts out, “Look at that loser, he’s picking his nose.”

You sense that only if you could come up with a fancy, scientific phrase for nose picking, you could intimidate the clod into silence.

This party necessity leads us to

Paul’s Awesome English Dictionary – Today’s Word: Nomogofo

Posted on February 21, 2024 by pauldelancey

Sometimes a word is so useful and necessary that it has been crying in the ether to be coined. Once used, we all wonder, “It’s so obvious now. How do we ever get along without that word?”

In today’s blog, we celebrate such an occurrence.

We’re often told the only way to success, to accomplishment, is by diligent activity and hard work. But sometimes we find great things happen to us by doing absolutely nothing, zilch, didly. Which leads us to:

Paul’s Awesome English Dictionary – Today’s Word: Freet

Posted on January 10, 2024 by pauldelancey

Sometimes a word comes about just because linguists slur together two words.

In today’s blog, we celebrate such an occurrence.

The first two letters “fr” are from the word “freezer” which is an English translation of the Icelandic word for “freezer.”

The last three letters “eet” come from the word “eat” which is an English translation of Ancient Egyptian word for “eat.” The last three letters really should be “eat,” but a professor for Egyptian Antiquities typed “eet” instead. He claims the “e” key of his typewriter stuck. Honestly though, it’s still a typo, dude.” Anyway, we combine “fr” + “eet” to get:

Paul’s Awesome English Dictionary – Today’s Word: Puos

Posted on January 8, 2024 by pauldelancey

The world teems with people unsure of the plural form of puo.

This uncertainty dates back the Elizabethan Era.

Astoundingly enough, there’s no word that means more than one puo. It’s time to correct this oversight.

Paul’s Awesome English Dictionary – Today’s Phrase: Final Exit

Posted on November 4, 2023 by pauldelancey

We put a man on the moon. We look at itty-bittiest things in the universe, a muon or some such thing; it’s much smaller than an atom which we can’t see either. We can use our land line to beam a signal to a satellite in geo-synchronous orbit above our very house and bounce the signal back down again to find our cell phone which was in our other hand.

On the third hand, we keep forgetting to take necessary things when we try to leave for work, pick up our kids from soccer practice, or go to the store.

But we don’t have a word to describe this behavior.

It’s high time to correct this oversight.

Dr. Paul’s Advice on Romance

Posted on July 19, 2023 by pauldelancey

People keep asking me, for no apparent reason, how to win a woman’s heart.

This is an easy one. I can’t figure why there are so many books on the subject.

So, how would I a woo a woman?

Simple, cook for her. A well-cooked meal will make a woman’s heart flutter.

Continue to prepare her dinners fit for the gods. She will love you devotedly all your life.

And oh, as my Grandma Anna used to say, “An outstanding chef will leave the kitchen as clean at the end as when he started.”

So if you clean up as you go, your everlasting love will be the greatest of all time. Just like Romeo and Juliet.

But they both killed themselves. Oh well, maybe you should make a little mess. Or just eat out.

Bother.

Paul’s Awesome English Dictionary – Today’s Word: Techfind

Posted on July 6, 2023 by pauldelancey

Our forefathers and foremothers tamed the wild frontiers, desserts, and ocean armed only with: grit, the five senses, and above all, single-minded determination.

The present batch of humanity is not so impressive. We can do so little using only what our creator gave us. We need inventions to accomplish anything.

But we don’t have a word to describe this behavior.

It’s high time to correct this oversight.

Candidate Paul Fights for American Motorists

Posted on July 1, 2023 by pauldelancey

Consider all the things that infuriate you every day. Does the present lot of politicians ever propose anything to help end such frustration?

They do not.

America clearly needs me to be its president. Right away.

If elected, I will . . .
