Sadly I don’t know a whole hell of a lot.
That’s why I make up words like gestationalism (the act of gestationing), teflonater (when one finds they’ve been ingesting slivers of teflon in their breakfast eggs and doesn’t complain), importantater (the most perfect tater tot on the cookie sheet), singluer (a single person who never leaves your side at a bar), toonstool (an animated stool sitter who rocks nonstop like someone with A.D.D.) and even gooyah (an exclamation phrase like booyah, but as spoken by a messy dresser with gooey food particles dried on their shirt).
Surprisingly, such overcompensation makes me feel extremely smart.

It’s an age old question that has been tested throughout History and time, absolute.
In seeking the company of another, what is it that causes them to fall for you? Is it candy? Power? The size of your automobile? Your job? Your money? Your ability to eat three packets of saltine crackers in less than one minute? What is it, exactly, that communicates to another person how you feel about them, what you’re looking for, and how much you care about them.
Most people say it’s all about showing affection.

This morning, WFME greets you from glorious Boston, MA — where it’s humid, overcast, and full of people who say “paaaahhhk the caaaaahh” and “Haaaahvaaahhhd Yaaaahhhd.”
Aaah, you gotta love accents.
The reasons for accents, I can only suppose, has something to do with local flavor, sayings, and your best friends’ ability to make up stuff on the fly. Over time, of course, such cultural habits turned into accents that are both good and bad.

When I was in college, I co-created, co-hosted and co-wrote a television show called The 27th Hour.
It was a cable access show that found an audience down in The O.C. way before those cheap-ass looking cable access shows became popular. Hell, we were the high watermark back then. We even had No Doubt on our show. (Yes, I know — I’m obviously biased.)
Most of the shows had themes from a backwards show (the opening actually started with the end credits and went totally backwards, with us constantly talking about what was coming up, when it had in actuality already just happened), an all blooper show (which contained bloopers that had been pre-filmed to fill up a half hour blooper show) and a Star Trek episode in which the entire cast dressed up in Trekkie uniforms.
