An article in Friday's edition about a vintage trailer 'Oddwoman may Faffle' take, the words really have a mean- ing. People often ask me how I can come up with so many ideas and words week after week. The answer, I don't know how they sur- face. It is the standard answer. True, it is not a very satisfying answer to the adult who was expecting a blow by blow descrip- tion of what transpired on the school campus. Sometimes there is just no easy way to answer a ques- tion. No, the headline is not a mis- This past week I found myself feeling a little giddy and silly in regard to words. I began to remem- ber the times when as a child we tried pig Latin on each other. Some kids were really good at it and could rattle it off a mile a minute. Others, me included got their tongues twisted around their teeth while applying the wrong end of the word first. Many a time I had a slip of the tongue experience while trying to spit out a word such as "onkeymay," which I think is sup- posed to represent monkey in pig Latin. ha…I have learned that there are a lot of funny words that stand on their own without being twisted and turned into pig Latin. Some are popular for a while; they are used to repeatedly until they finally die a natural death. During my teen years, I recall that the kids would always say "puke" whenever they wanted to emphasize something; it was a sort of vicarious swear word. It had a shock effect on adults who often admonished their offspring to "quit using that word." Sometimes overused words are not slang, they are pseudo educa- tional, such as the ever popular statement of a few years ago "para- As I become more mature, ha, digm shift." Every meeting of the work place bandied about numer- ous "paradigm shifts." No one could manage to just say that some- thing was a change from the accepted. This was a sure sign someone had read something, some- where and therefore must be up to date and state of the art in their thinking. Educators seem drawn to both old and new words that depict "educationese." Words of past and present, such as; intentional teach- ing, full inclusion, typical, integrated curriculum and much more. It is said that these words have to do with covering different areas of curriculum within one framework. People are forever bringing to my attention some unusual words. Family members even feed my eccentricity by giving me whole books of words. Sometimes they are sorry because I tend to vocalize the words back to the giver. Recent- ly I picked up one of the many books given to me. I came across one that some persons feel fits me perfectly. The word, "oddwoman." An oddwoman is a female umpire who arbitrates heated arguments. I am not making these words up. They are words that were once used and fell out of favor. These past words often cause one to "Faffle." Faffle means to stumble or stam- mer. Some words allow one to use a lot of emotive language when describing commonplace occur- rences. At the present time I am battling snarled "crinets," it is enough to "dretch" a seemingly same person. You see what I mean, "crinets" and dretch" are decidedly more emotive Carolyn Barber One might think that a "yerd" is a cousin to a "nerd," not so. A "yerd" means to beat with a rod and a "nerd" is, a,a,a,…well I really am not sure what a nerd is. Okay so someone is calling me a "nerd" right now. Having made this public confession to word addiction, my "diilings" are pressuring me to stop this diatribe by "wheeplin" at me to get my attention and hoping that I will become "roaky" again and not be able to speak from day-break to "dimpse." Translation" "…my children are pressuring me to stop this diatribe by whistling at me to get my atten- tion and hoping that I will become hoarse and not be able to speak from day break to twilight.

I must say that the term stands for tobog- ganing and the "mubblefubbles" are a depression of the spirits for no reason, melancholy.
