I keep stealing Tom's QotD!
Name three words or phrases you wish you'd coined:
1. Craptastic/and or/ craptacular. As in "How's your workday going?"
2. Cubic Assload. As in, a whole lot. I learned this one from David Bobavey!!!
3. Ok Fine Used Trucks. Learned from crankypants. It's a sign at a business and also a great sarcastic snotty retort to someone who knows it all.
One phrase I DID just coin this weekend: "I'll meet you at Cork St. and Sprinkle Rd."
Which means, "Don't hold your breath, I won't be there." On my way to Chicago last weekend I passed the exit for Cork St. and Sprinkle Rd, and thought, "I just have to find a way to use that."
karuna (KUH-roo-na) noun
Loving compassion.
[From Sanskrit karuna (compassion).]
"Once we experience and feel this
inter-dependence of all living beings,
we will cease to hurt, humiliate,
exploit and kill another. We will want
to free all sentient beings from
suffering. This is karuna, compassion,
which in turn gives rise to the
responsibility to create happiness and
its causes for all."
