New words


NEW WORDS for your education and delight.

OPRAHCTUALIZED: Self actualized in an Oprah kind of way.
This is meant as a compliment.

The Girls In the Basement,” - comes from a Stephen King phrase about the “guys in the basement” who take care of all the creativity and then send up the completed pages to be typed.
Our job is to take care of them, give them what they need, so they can get the job done.
{ I think mine are in need of chocolate and three weeks in Barbados }

POW – Not Prisoner of War – but Predatory Older Woman

Well, yet again I've learned something from your post. I think my Girls in the Basement need a month in Mauritius.

Snarf. I rather like this idea, as opposed to 'MUSES' or suchlike feeding our imagination.
The Oprah Self-Actualisation is a true test of the zeitgeist - although wouldn't it be lovely to have your name included in a new word?
NOT going to happen. Not.
