Muddyfunkster: A Word to the Unwise

Not the most earth shattering weekend ever, in fact besides being out at a party on Friday night it was a complete non-event. This was perfect after the week I’d had – what with the redundancy, meetings to plan my future, 2 games of football and going to see the Thrills. I still wrecked though, it’s been tough. I polished up my CV and applied for a job today, although I’m still not sure I won’t just go back to consulting. The job was doing ecommerce for a large bank so it might be worth a go.

To indulge my love of words and their origins, I stumbled upon this – "A study of when new words became common during the past century". Did you know that “pissed off” first entered our vocabulary in 1943 – you’d have been really cool to be saying “That Hitler has me really pissed off” that summer, especially seeing as the term “cool” didn’t actually mean that until 1948 (after “mobile-phone” and just before “Fast Food”).

Bad news to end with, I'm out of Curly Fries - dark days people, dark days.
