I always used to think it was a myth — rubbish — that someone’s hair could turn grey overnight. But guess what? I looked in the mirror this afternoon and I’m almost positive my hair is greyer than it was yesterday. Or even this morning. Either everything has caught up with me, finally, or there’s something in my Pantene 2 in 1.
Don’t you just love the word “rubbish,” though? It sounds so much better when you call something inaccurate or that you don’t agree with rubbish rather than garbage. The English have such lovely curse words. It’s not even a curse… I looked in the online thesaurus to see what else I could call it and came up with some interesting words. “Whammy”? “Obloquy”? “Naughty words”? Oh, here we go, “expletive.”
Let’s go back to obloquy. Look that up and I get… “animadversion.” I HAVE to look that up. And it means… “blame.”
I blame the bloody rubbish!
Now that was satisfying.

I’m always trying to encourage my transatlantic friends to adopt some of the more colourful Anglo Saxon phrases, I think it’s important for international relations that we can exchange obscenities on a level playing field. ;~}

I’m glad you correctly use the term “ahead”, it’s a source of national pride that we have such a rich vocabulary. ;~}

I much prefer ‘rubbish’ to ‘garbage’ or ‘trash,’ but then I would do, I suppose!
As for the grey hair, I have one or two little strands at the front on one side, but I actually quite like them! 🙂

My hair has greyed gradually, blending in with the reddish blonde, but I swear my upper thighs turned into jelly overnight. It was right after I turned 50.

My hair has been gradually greying too, until now at least. As for the jelly, mine was my stomach. Doesn’t seem to matter how many sit-ups I do, I can’t make it flat again. 😛
Thanks for letting me know I’m not alone, JoAnna! ❤
