7️⃣ Words

"Always remember, your focus determines your reality."

  • George Lucas

"The best way to predict the future, is to create it."

  • Abraham Lincoln

I stared puzzled, wondering how to start this post. Initially, I was going to go with some humor from George Carlin and his 7 words you can't say on television, but I think that list has since been modified. Then, I was going to go with something inspirational to get the feel goods flowing, but settled on something a little more self-reflective.

Those two quotes up there are going to and have continued to serve me well. I find there is at least a little of 'the force' in all of us, even if we don't know it. Call it spiritual power, magic, will, whatever you want, I don't care - but, it's there. You know this to be true because of your conversations, interactions and socializations and your mindsets afterwards.

The things people push onto you often shape how you feel or react and it is a hard cycle to break. Especially if you are crowded with negativity. Think about it. How good and determined do you feel when you get off of the phone with someone who's objective - albeit known to you or not - is to end the call with a smile? How bad do you feel, and unmotivated, when you speak with someone that - even by their own unknown agenda - only complains or prattles on about how shitty things are?

You are who you choose to be. You are what you eat. Your network is your net worth. Yadda, yadda. There are a hundred phrases I could fit here that you've likely heard and maybe paid no mind to. Words, you know, are powerful.

Words

Last year, there were some interesting words added to the dictionaries out there by our lexicalizing linguistics experts. (Say that 5 times real fast.) Some of them had me scratching my head, some of them I already use and some of them are just like, seriously? So here's a list of 7 words and their definitions I thought you might enjoy. I may even add a few of these to my every day vocab. Is vocab a word yet? Believe so. 😁

  • "Jaded" - this one, I'm shocked that was not already added years ago as I've been using it for decades. Yes decades. Don't be too jaded if you have never heard it before or don't know what it means.

  • "MacGyver" - apparently, the new thing is to add names as actual definitions, instead of just leaving them float to slang. I've been MacGyvering shit since I was what, twelve? You should have seen some of the working inventions I came up with.

  • "Angst" - again, thought this was already a frig'n word. Teenage angst and rage and anger and misplaced emotions from the confusion beset by the 'not so woke' idiocracy (wow, idocracy isn't a word?) of mainstream cancel culture media has really come on strong.

  • "Schmuko" - this one is just fun to say. It even rhymes with "Fukko". And isn't there already a schmuk? Ya they mean the same thing, idiots.

  • "Blert" - I had to put this in here to slap a few of those other blockchain wannabes (totally a word) in the face. It is defined as a weak or useless person. Can be converted to a verb and mean to literally fuck it all up.

  • “Rizz” - this was actually the Oxford Word of the Year for 2023 and is already thought overused. Funny, I've only heard it on TikTok bullshit. It's a lazy short for “charisma”, meaning one's swagger or also can be doubled as a compliment for a swank or respectable style.

  • "Hack" - not so surprisingly, it was already in there, but had a different meaning, now it has multiple meanings like to scam or to 'MacGyver' something and make it work for you.

So who's got the Rizz, yalreadyknow. Ya, I made that a word too. Because I can schmuko. Get your blertin' asses outta here all tryin' pull a hack off my MacGyvered maneuvers. Angsty hoovers. Jaded and faded from all the shits, piss, cunts, fucks, cocksuckers, motherfuckers and tits. And tits shouldn't even be on the list man. Just REMEMBER TO BE YOU! I always am, slaying with slaps and dapps on the way.

I remember in one of the first episodes of Stargate SG1 Amanda Tappings character used the term "MacGyver" to Richard Dean Anderson as kind of an inside joke. It was funny and an awesome shout out to his past work.

Believe I seen that episode! Been a trekky and techie for ages. Still got Star Wars as #1 tho 😜

I remember that too! That was a great show!

Schmucko is a great word! I'm surprised most weren't included way back when...

Nice Legos! Those are fun! Lets you channel your inner MacGyver. If Carlin were still around I'm sure he'd find some better words us!

The Legos were one of @lunamoon's Christmas gifts. Adult level I think and she was pretty happy completing it. I was too, me likey the bugs.

Seems like one smart kid!

Believe so, they have pieces now that are just tiny, not the straight up blocks we had. Intricate shapes and fittings, more like a 3D puzzle than a lego set 😜

Carlin was a true gem. I’m glad that I got to see him perform many times before he left us. He was a regular performer at a college near by.
You rock bro, keep being you and good things will happen.

Lucky! I only seen stand up on TV and thanks man. Good to hear it sometimes 😊

I love the second quote, Hoping it will help me to create my own reality. This is the first time I heard of it. I still remember that there was a time when I used to hate looking for synonyms or hunting for new vocabs. However, 2023 has got me kicking into these. hahaha Words are beautiful.

It's one of the few things that separate us from the rest of the animals - a written language 😁

Jaded wasn't a word?! Like you, I've been using that for decades. Hard to imagine it wasn't official.

It's definitely important to curate your friend group. Sadly, I've probably been the Debbie Downer in my own group more often than not. I'm almost always trying to improve, though!

BTW, love your little Lego insect garden!

I absolutly love the lego pictures and that butterfly creature 😍 I love that kind of things and to create things.

The quotes are good ones and the 7 new words... I guess only one I really know is the MacGyver one. I saw every episode of MacGyver growing up and he sure made things work out of nothing and was super creative.
Can see why you relate to that as you are one creative person as well 😉👍 and I seen some of your work over the years.
And as for words... I always heard you use words that I never heard but made sence and should be added as words.
We have some new ones to but some are just plain stupid and makes no sence 😂 Hahahaha

Good reflecting and writing, made me think of new words to that should be added 😜 lol

BIG hugs 🤗💕🤗

"knickers." I love the dated charm of old words.
