really cool words...

i do like words.
i like the sound of words, i love to hear new words
and new names and i love to repeat them over and over
and listen to how they sound.

i get a lotta opportunity for this when i sit and listen
to bob and the guys talk.

first of all, they talk guy stuff.
i always smile when they say 'torque' cause i love that
word and i never can think of any reason to say it.
and they actually say it a lot.

it's a great word.
and i'd really like some opportunity to use it and mean it.
and have no one know that i've never said it in a real
life sentence before. i mean, i'd want to sound smooooooth
with it, ya know? like they do.

last nite, a whole buncha things i never heard of came
up in conversation. bob had something goin' on with work
and in his telling us about it, a whole buncha really cool
words came out.

my complete and total favorite - well, besides the name
thule, greenland
was zulu time.

zulu time??????????

z-time.

z-time??????

apparently greenwich mean time is also called zulu time???
no one knew why when i asked......

say it out loud......ZULU TIME.........

but they go by z-time.
of course.
is that cool or what???

z-time.

and then there's the whole figurin' out what time that means.
i'm still workin' on that.

but apparently, if you work with people around the world,
you talk in z-time.

did you guys know this???

i soooo want to talk in z time.

so i told the guys.....'hey!we can set up our business meetings
in zulu time!!'

i personally like zulu more than z.
but you know, they both really have their place.
so i want to use both.

i sat on the couch repeating cool words and intrigued with the
way 'zulu time' makes your mouth feel exotic.

i have trouble retaining what 'torque' is let alone throwin'
it in the conversation. i never even realized there WAS a
thule, greenland.....there's so so so much cool conversation
out there and i just don't talk that way.

i commented on this to the guys.

yeah, the guys agreed, but they looked at me and said
'none of us say we want to be a prayer.'

oh yeah, i said.

oh yeah.

that's cool talk too.

maybe we can all travel to thule, greenland on zulu time and
be a prayer....maybe all that energy would torque the earth
or something.......

i so love words....
