New Words and Terms

[go high fast]

Here's another completely new word that I heard today for the very first time in my life. It was used by our beloved Secretary of State in an editorial that appeared in todays Missoulian........transnational. Does this mean the gay/lesbian/Bi/transgender movement is going global?

Another term I heard today for the very first time is "helicopter parents". Apparantly this is a term for parents who hover over thier kids and observe and protect and dictate and criticize thier every move.


And one other I should have included up top is "teaching moment". If I recall the first time i heard this one was when doofus (Obama) foolishly weighed in on the controversy between the Cambridge cops and the Harvard porfessor. Knowing him to be an intelligent man the cops should have needed only 1 question for the cooperative professor.........can you say pepper spray?


.......more to come I'm sure.

Arab Spring.

This is another new word/phrase/term i have heard quite a bit lately. Heard it for the very first time maybe 2 months ago.

Honestly, I still don't fully understand what it means. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.

Social media. ---- apparently its responsible for everything now days... Some university just did a study that said that being on facebook makes kids more likely to drink and do drugs...


Apparently the new america is all about shifting the blame away from yourself even if its to a completely inanimate object. God forbid you'd be responsible for anything on your own.

 

[PJ-Hunter]

Obama-rigged (I guess that's the new 'politicaly correct' way to phrase it)

The correct term is PRESIDENTIALLY ENGINEERED.

Precial

"Precious and special".

Situation

GTL

DTF

Or any other words spoken by the deuche bags on jersey shore...

This cracked me up! Walking around in Vegas one night in a large group, one of the dudes said "DTF" and this girl turned, smiled, and walked over to him! I figured she must have been an escort, but she wasn't, just in vegas with the mentality of what happens there stays there.

Here's another one! ENDORPHIN DEFICIENCY SYNDROME. Until today, I have never heard of it. Clearly these people have never been on a snowmobile. Missoula is a very liberal town so it is not uncommon to see stuff like this in the editorial page. Anyway, I thought I would share it. This was an editorial in todays Missoulian.


Several months ago a friend of mine fell in a grocery store in Missoula. Unable to get up on her own, she sat there writhing in pain as seven - yes, seven - people walked right on by without even asking if she was OK. This situation disgusted me to no end.

The other issue is that a lot of people suffer from a disease called endorphin deficiency syndrome. These two subjects seem unrelated but in reality they are the same in that many people like to pass judgment and not get involved with those who suffer - so, so wrong.

Endorphin deficiency syndrome makes people lose out on a day-to-day normal sense of well-being and enthusiasm so, to feel better, they "self-medicate." The most common self-medications would be starchy junk food followed by tobacco use, alcohol consumption, prescription drugs, street drugs - anything to feel "normal."

Harsh judgment and condemnation by mostly those lucky enough to have adequate levels of endorphins and able to naturally enjoy life mostly day to day. Some with this syndrome are lucky enough to somehow get through without self-medicating in any way; they probably pass judgment, also.

Help others and don't pass judgment; instead, care and have more compassion to those suffering in any way.

The following is a poem written by my father, Pastor Herb Knutsen, who passed away from Alzheimer's disease on April 5 2011. He and I were so similar - he was such a loving father and husband. We both live our lives based on the following poem he wrote, just one of more than 700 poems he wrote.

Lord,

Grant me a spirit of unconditional love,

that I may gently lift those who stumble,

kindly forgive those who err,

patiently understand those whom are different and

lovingly care for those who suffer.

Heard this little Gem on the radio today down in Kansas City, figured Id share it hear.


Apparently its no longer PC to refer to people of color as "blacks" or "Mexican" they are now referred to as being of "URBAN" decent... Seriously, what is wrong with this world.

Exactly. It would be like the majority of us to say we are not "White" we are "Anglo American". You never see an alternate option for us, just white. Does being "American" ever become a nationality? I was born in America, but American is never listed...Why?

I've never understood that either.
