for my Dad to be able to have his back surgery
2. Dictionary.com's word of the year is '6-7'. Huh?
Is it even a word??? I had to consult the internet to find out it's meaning because apparently I'm old and this particular slang is not part of my vocabulary. Is it part of yours? According to the article I read, it's a viral term, more of an inside joke with an unclear meaning driven by social media.
What do you think?
Dictionary. com says it's selection each year is a 'linguistic time capsule reflecting social trends and events, but they also admitted to being confused by '6-7'. Some say it means so-so and is sometimes accompanied by the up and down hand motion we associate with the phrase so-so.
What word do you think would have made a better choice?
Yes I knew it was a thing and I heard it was the "word of the year" so I was expecting this question on the Hodgepodge based on previous years! My son told me about a time in class when the teacher told them they had a new rule that they couldn't say 6-7. Then they had a pop quiz and the first answer was 67. Then it turned out all the answers were 67. She was tricking them.
I saw one post that didn't know the meaning but connected it to Deuteronomy 6:7 which says:
I'm sure there are many words that would have been a better choice but I don't know what it would be.
3. What's a food, trend, activity, or thing people love but you think is just so-so?
The fancy coffees or so many different choices of coffees now. I have never been a coffee drinker so maybe I'd like some of this fancy stuff if I tried it. I don't see the need for a coffee shop on every corner!
4. Are you a tea drinker? Hot or cold? How do you like yours and at what time of day? Do you like flavored teas or teas billed as calming, energizing, healing, etc?
Yes I like cold tea. I will drink hot tea if I have a sore throat. I like it unsweet with ice. I like to get one from Sonic. I guess I drink it slowly because I put it in the fridge and have the rest the next day. The boys tell me it is just dirty water. LOL
I like raspberry tea and blueberry tea mixed together at a shop called HTeaO. Mixing it together they call it Berry Blast. I get it occasionally....much less now than I used to because they changed their "happy hour" promotion.
5. The November Hodgepodge has always included a weekly gratitude question. Here's the question for today-what are three things that make your heart sing?
words of encouragement from my husband
hugs from the boys
letters in the mail
6. Insert your own random thought here.
My Dad had back surgery Tuesday so I went to be with him. I had started answering this and then didn't publish it. So I did after I got back!
