It seems to me that there is a general decline in daily conversation and interaction between Americans. If one more flipping person LOL's me I am gonna take my gat and git up in der grilz and pop a cap in that azz.
I actually heard a girl at work say "OMG". Not, "Oh my God!", but the letters "O", "M", and "G". I told her she must be texting at an unhealthy rate, and she seriously needed to cut back.
There was a stunt on TV (Letterman? Jimmy Kimmel?) in which they had two guys sending the same message in morse code and two guys texting. Morse Code KICKED BUTT!
If anyone remembers Buell had WFO on their helmets a while back. Wide Full Open I believe was "their" explanation. I have texted maybe five times in my life, I no longer even have a cell phone, I have to carry one for work but it comes home and lays on the table until the next day. I did however honk at some woman texting while driving 70mph down the interstate the other day.
Englishman. Dilly is an English surname and there have been some famous Dilleys - cricketer and writer. Gaff is cockney slang for 'home'. And the Gaffer is the boss.
