I hate the word "the"

(Right now, I'm filled with self-loathing.)

Fortunately, I love the word "alpaca."

I ADORE the word Shanglan, though I don't know what it means.

It's a name. While most legends refer to the horse as "Black Shanglan," my best source indicates that the best translation from the Gaelic "Dubh Shangliu" is "the black of Shanglan" - i.e., Shanglan's black horse.

But I decide to stick with more common usage

I couldn't even PRONOUNCE "Dubh Snagliu."

Sometimes I think that the whole system of orthagraphy for Irish is the best joke anyone ever played.

Even better...Welsh. I would like to buy some vowles for the language please. So Dubh Snagliu....is it from the same sets of ledgends as Amand Dubh and the fay or he a hero of the Irish? I know more Scots than Irish lore.

And to stay on topic...just in general, I hate lawyereez. "It is hereby stipulated and agreed." Why say it in two words when you can bill your client for twelve.

Black Shanglan - or more properly the black of Shanglan, but you see it the other way more often - is one of Cuchulain's chariot horses.

Brave, heck. Be sarcastic. Use big words and convulted meanings with a sunny smile. I think you'll be safe from any threat of comprehension. Or one-up them and invent your own even sillier business-speak.

"You're leveraging analytical platforms? That's wonderful! Leveraging is one of our core market incentives too, but we focus on multi-paradigm process revision and value-added assessment and generative networking solutions. We should interface our development departments and capitalize on our confluent synergy!"

Please don't hit me. It was only a joke.

Good thing. In some jurisdictions it could get you arrested.

Hum, some of my relatives would consider ARRESTED a hateful word.

Hmmm... I ran across the word incarcerated in a patient's chart yesterday. Sounded a little harsh...

Elizabeth, are you a nurse-type human? If so, I've got a RL story about a patient's words. It occured when my wife was DON at a detox center.
