It is "K" week

Hey let's get KINKY!!!

Where do we come up with these words?  I don't know. I often ponder the originals of such words. Mostly those was the derogatory slang genre, or the words that seem to be non-words.

Examples: Dip$hit...where did it come from?  how about A$$hat...I have never seen an "A$$" wear a Hat...of course I am talking about someone's Gluteus Maximus wearing a hat...I have seen many people that I consider to be A$$ES wearing a hat...is that where it came from? and...how did people become known as A$$es, and the double  dig a DUMBA$$, then there is JERKS, Wackos, Kooks, and a personal fav...Cold Fish...but that falls into an area listed below. (real words used for something else) Stuffed Shirt, Mouthpiece (for an attorney)

I used to think Sheep Dip was something someone made up in the early 1980's, then I come to find out there is or at least was a special "bath" that sheep were put into, that was called Sheep dip.

I wonder if some early thug or hipster, decided to turn the words around...dip sheep---and said to themselves HA, Sheep can be replaced with $hit...Dip $hit?  While we are at it, where did the word $hit come from?  or A$$?...then there is Poop, doody, Caca, or kaka, Stool (real word used for something else)

 I don't know, do you?  I feel like a Poopyhead, and a Dumba$$ for not knowing these things!

there are so many, it is Hinky! There's another Hinky...Hinky, kinky, funky, chunky, groovy, sleazy, gnarly, nerd, dork, geek...I won't even go down the KINKY list of words for some body parts...

you all know what I mean.

I am a female, and I love cats...but I do NOT get THE connection, do you? 

There is another animal name used for the same thing.  Also a shrubbery, and a mollusk...

I do not like that one, but at least these are both better than some of the other words used for the same thing.

How did the surname Johnson come to mean a body part? Or the nick name for Richard, and HOW did they come up with THAT nick name for Richard????

How about words that ARE REALLY words, but used for things that they aren't.

Perhaps, you would like to ponder the word mug...a container, something to drink out of...so then why do we refer to someone's face as a MUG, as in "your ugly mug, or mug shot"

Eyes get referred to as peepers, and other things. My peepers need help, so I wear CHEATERS! (now it is even MORE fun as I have a couple of types of cheaters)

Getting back to Gluteus Maximus (and minimus, and there is another)

--backside, behind, butt, A$$, derriere, buttocks, bum, cheeks (hey don't we have them on our face?---I do not want my A$$ on my face, do you?)

Then there is Toilet...not sure where that word came from...but we all know it, how about some of the other words used as substitution...

John (a guy's name, really?)...throne, pot, potty,loo,latrine, head (that one is just terrific, isn't it...I mean seriously, we all have a head. Would you like someone to do what they do on a toilet on your head?)

so let's see If can shed some light.

is for

the JETSONS

Wikipedia says:

The Jetsons is an animated sitcom that was produced by Hanna-Barbera, originally airing in prime-time from 1962–1963 and again from 1985–1987. It was Hanna-Barbera’s Space Age counterpart to The Flintstones, a half-hour family sitcom projecting contemporary culture and lifestyle into another time period.Reruns can be seen on Boomerang and Cartoon Network once again as of 2012.
While the Flintstones live in a world with machines powered by birds and dinosaurs, the Jetsons live in a futuristic utopia in the year 2062 (or 100 years into the future at the time) of elaborate robotic contraptions, aliens, holograms, and whimsical inventions.
The original incarnation of the series aired on Sunday nights on ABC from September 23, 1962, to March 3, 1963. It comprised 24 episodes, and was re-run on Saturday mornings for decades. At the time of its debut, it was the first program ever to be broadcast in color on ABC-TV; There were only a handful of ABC TV stations that were capable of broadcasting in color in the early 1960s. The Flintstones, while always produced in color, was broadcast in black-and-white for its first two seasons.
The continuing popularity of The Jetsons led to further episodes being produced for syndication between 1985 and 1987.

I picked the JETSONS...because I read how Newt Gingrich is promising a colony on the MOON by 2020!!

Alphabe-Thursday...I

 

This week we are visiting the letter "I"

Let's talk about   INTUITION

There's the infamous...Women's Intuition, and Mother's Intuition, and of course psychic intuition.

First a definition (dictionary.com):

5.

Philosophy .

a.

an immediate cognition of an object not inferred or determined by a previous cognition of the same object.

b.

any object or truth so discerned.

c.

pure, untaught, noninferential knowledge.

Origin:
1400–50; late Middle English  < Late Latin intuitiōn-  (stem of intuitiō ) contemplation, equivalent to Latin intuit ( us ), past participle of intuērī  to gaze at, contemplate + -iōn- -ion. See in-² , tuition

 *World English Dictionary

— n
1.	knowledge or belief obtained neither by reason nor by perception
2.	instinctive knowledge or belief
3.	a hunch or unjustified belief
4.	philosophy  immediate knowledge of a proposition or object such as Kant's account of our knowledge of sensible objects
5.	the supposed faculty or process by which we obtain any of these
[C15: from Late Latin intuitiō  a contemplation, from Latin intuērī  to gaze upon, from tuērī  to look at]
*Medical Dictionary in·tu·ition definition Pronunciation:  /ˌin-t(y) u̇ -ˈish-ən/ Function: n 1 :  immediate apprehension or cognition without reasoning or inferring 2 :  knowledge or conviction gained by intuition 3 :  the power or faculty of gaining direct knowledge or cognition without evident rational thought and inference in·tu·it Pronunciation:  /in-ˈt(y){uuml}-ət/ Function: vt in·tu·ition·al Pronunciation:  /ˌin-t(y) u̇ -ˈish-nəl, -ən- ə l/ Function: adj in·tu·itive Pronunciation:  /in-ˈt(y){uuml}-ət-iv/ Function: adj in·tu·itive·ly Function: adv

 ******************************************

I deal with numbers 3&4 of the first definition.  Would not most of you agree, that that is the BEST definition?  I believe so as the others use the words; fact and truth. While I believe my OWN intuition is usually spot on, therefore being fact or truth...there are times it is not.

Now for a few quotes: 

 

 "Logic is the procession or proportionate unfolding of the intuition; but its virtue is as silent method; the moment it would appear as propositions, and have a separate value, it is worthless."
~~Ralph Waldo Emerson 

"Faith is a passionate intuition."

~~William Wordsworth 

"A woman uses her intelligence to find reasons to support her intuition."

~~Gilbert K. Chesterton

"God made man stronger but not necessarily more intelligent. He gave women intuition and femininity. And, used properly, that combination easily jumbles the brain of any man I've ever met."

~~Farrah Fawcett 

"I feel there are two people inside me - me and my intuition. If I go against her, she'll screw me every time, and if I follow her, we get along quite nicely."

~~Kim Basinger 

"I never took sheet music seriously. I could do better myself just by listening to other people and using my own intuition."

~~Brian May (of Queen) 

What do you think of INTUITION???
