The Fountain of Youth

The daily happenings of a woman, her husband, and their youth group.

Friday, July 07, 2006

Ok, so after reading jerry james's blog (is that how you do that? Hmm....I shall ask the James that is closest to my heart when she wakes up from the nap her and josh are taking) and reading the coolest word ever...starts with an e and I can't remember the rest of it.......I had a word just randomly pop into my head. For all of you who are close to me, you know this is not unusual. Anyway, the word is "Euphamism". I used to know what it means, and i REALLY like the way that it sounds, and I would like to use it in a sentence and sound sophisticated and cool, and possibly win at scrabble with it (BIG points, Jeff!), so I would like to know it's meaning.
Now, you may be asking yourselves..."Why not just ask your intelligent Dictionary- Loving English Major husband, Rosie?" I'm so glad you asked. I am in AR and he is in AL. I would call him, but I have already called him twice today, first to play for him the "I love technology" song from Napolean Dynamite on Josh's keyboard, and second to tell him what a freakish coincidence it was that right after I played it for him, I changed the channel and THE SONG WAS PLAYING ON THE MOVIE CHANNEL!!!! ANyway, I don't want to bother him again. So.....
Since I am bored out of my mind because both of my companions are asleep, I will open up a discussion on my blog, the first of many. What is the meaning of this complex, beautiful word? "Euphamism". It just rolls off your tounge. Is it a type of eggroll? Possibly a breed of dog? Who knows? Maybe you do! So put your thinking caps on, type your thoughts in on my comments page, and I will judge which one sounds the best, the truest meaning of the word (or just the funniest!) My bets are on the winning definition coming from either Matt Parker, Jeff or Phillip. And remember, No cheating! PUT DOWN THE DICTIONARY, PHILLIP!!! The race is on.... GO!

Are we playing Balderdash. I had a lot of experience with that at Family Camp.

I think the word euphanism means killing young people off.

Here's a word a learned fromt he game mentioned above. CLENCHPOOP. It means dummy. I use it all the time with Michael.

euphamism - a small, unattractive blemish in the skin at the base of the neck of a newborn porcupine. (Don't ask who discovered it...it's a long and painfully prickly story.)

Great Post!!!!! By the way rose I do not need a dictionary. I just read Lee Ann's comment. Seriously, to answer you question: I have no idea what euphamism means. On the other hand, euphemism is a word (or words) used to replace more offensive words. Examples:
Darn for !@#$
or
Mentally Challenged for retarded

Political Correctnes stands behind many of the euphemisms in recent times. Many times I find euphemisms helpful because they tend to not offend as many people.

Yall are blowing my mind.. I knew what it meant but would not have been able to explain it so well without the dictionary! ;) (Just like I knew how the space shuttle gets back to Earth.. I am so smart! teehee)

I don't think you mean for old people like me to read your blog. I had to get out my double magnification reading glasses...lol

Great to see you guys in the blogosphere. Hope all is well with you. I miss seeing your smiling face on Sundays.

I am surprised that no one knows the meaning of euphamism.
I use the word all the time.
It means "the fear of euphoric ham encounters". Personally, I enjoy euphoric ham encounters, but I totally understand why some would be sceered.
