<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I recently read <strong>The Lady Matador’s Hotel</strong>, a very disjointed story
revolving around a specific time and place but with no real plot. However, I
should have expected this because the author <strong>Christina Garcia</strong> writes in a very
non-linear style.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The word <strong>“matador”</strong> refers to a man who fights bulls. The female version
of this word is actually <strong>“matadora.”</strong> Bullfighting a male-dominated sport and
the few women who have participated often face resistance and hostility from
male fans. In The Lady Matador’s Hotel, the matadora is a formidable foe in the
arena, and has a commanding presence in her day-to-day life as well. Many of
the men in the novel view her as both intimidating and a challenge or desired
conquest.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Originating in the 1670s, “matador”
is derived from the Spanish “matador,” meaning <strong>“killer”</strong> from “matar” meaning <strong>“to
kill or wound”</strong> and the Arabic “mata,” meaning “he died.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">In Spain, a matador is actually called a <strong>“toreador</strong>.” This is derived
from “torear,” meaning “to fight bulls” and toro “bull,” from the Latin “Taurus.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">One of the implied definitions of matador involves the idea of honoring
the bull, or sacrificing it through death. The Latin word “mactare” means <strong>"to
kill or honor by sacrifice",</strong> from “mactus,” meaning “honored.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">There are also several levels of bullfighters. The <strong>matado</strong>r is the one
who kills the bull, but he has many people who assist him as well.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A <strong>picador</strong> uses a lance while on horseback to
test the bull’s strength before the matador begins. The <strong>banderillero </strong>places
little flags (colorful sticks with a barbed point) in the top of the bull’s
shoulder while running as close to the bull as possible. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Brave commoners (a.k.a. poor people) would also jump into the ring to
show their own prowess. These <strong>maletillas</strong> or <strong>espontaneos</strong> would be taken away,
but some legitimate bullfighters also began their careers in this way.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span class="ssens"><span style="font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">What may surprise you about this word is that it has been around A LOT
longer than you might think. In recent years, it has been used in pop culture
ad nauseum, most notably in an episode of “Sex and the City.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span class="ssens"><span style="font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span class="ssens"><span style="font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">A combination of the words “friend” and “enemy,” the general meaning of the
word is readily understood. It can describe an enemy who pretends to be a
friend, or even a real friend who is competing with you for something you
desire, such as a job or a love interest. <o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span class="ssens"><span style="font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span class="ssens"><span style="font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Here’s the shocker. The first documented use of the word was in 1953.
Journalist W. Winchell wrote about the United States’ age-old nemesis Russia as
a “frenemy.” It is speculated that this word also derives some of its meaning
from the Arabic proverb, “The enemy of my enemy is my friend.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span class="ssens"><span style="font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span class="ssens"><span style="font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Gaining traction in the past decade or so, the word “frenemy” has
appeared in respected publications like Businessweek and Scientific American,
as well as innumerable websites and, according to OMGfacts.com, “countless blog
pages.” Looks like Wordbabble is now one of them. <o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>

My boyfriend recently bought me an Xbox (the first gen one) so I
could play one of my favorite games, Fable. As I planned out the task
of setting the video game console up to the TV, I realized that the
word “console” can also mean to “console” a friend who is
upset. <br />
<br />
And then I started thinking about other words that followed this
weird rule and wondered if there was a word for
these type of words. Yes, I think very tangentially sometimes.<br />
<br />
The English language has so many idiosyncrasies that make it very
difficult for not only English language learners but even native
speakers to master. It turns out that the “console” duality is
referred to as a homograph.<br />
<br />
We all know about homophones, those words that sound the same but
mean different things and are spelled differently. We learn this one quickly because it leads to
lots of spelling mistakes. For example, to/two/too and
their/they're/there are some of the most commonly misused.<br />
<br />
A homograph is a word that is spelled the same as another word,
but it means something different and is often pronounced differently. The
easiest way to explain this is through examples. For instance “wound”
can refer to an injury or wrapping a bandage around the injury.<br />
<br />

<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
To force the lips into a smile, the
word “cheese” causes a person to position their teeth and then
part their lips into a somewhat aesthetically pleasing grimace. But
when did this word enter the language as a means to get perfect
photos?</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGQvoqHe1Mj-NzldVAU2pAnwMwhv42iSbE7LH5qO0Pkk8wVstGI4gP6PRAELWLGigIdmFOAF0ErKIBdC3__IXXAukFNAkvzq6PmrzZjBbwx95x7I-TiPY-VekC89B2vKoNK1JS1saCzN7e/s1600/Smile.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGQvoqHe1Mj-NzldVAU2pAnwMwhv42iSbE7LH5qO0Pkk8wVstGI4gP6PRAELWLGigIdmFOAF0ErKIBdC3__IXXAukFNAkvzq6PmrzZjBbwx95x7I-TiPY-VekC89B2vKoNK1JS1saCzN7e/s1600/Smile.jpeg" /></a>One of the first references to “cheese”
as a photographic strategy was in a 1943 article in The Big Spring
Herald:</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
“It comes from former Ambassador
Joseph E. Davies and is guaranteed to make you look pleasant no
matter what you’re thinking. Mr. Davies disclosed the formula while
having his own picture taken on the set of his 'Mission to Moscow.'
It’s simple. Just say 'Cheese,' It’s an automatic smile. 'I
learned that from a politician,' Mr. Davies chuckled.”</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Who was this “politician”? It is
believed this could be then-president Franklin D. Roosevelt. It's not
clear if Roosevelt coined the phrase or if he got it from another
source.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLCRDi1urwQe6ynxSsr5CW3ocxijN9WZbQmq8WmggktuwehK7oy34RABRbdXoqXGmerQOu7GGRRNPlSqjHDx7dE2M7ca357EDbW8NSGJi-z1caMq_tQCwaqiELLcaG0KvRqLSYlPjMPSz-/s1600/SmileRoosevelt.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLCRDi1urwQe6ynxSsr5CW3ocxijN9WZbQmq8WmggktuwehK7oy34RABRbdXoqXGmerQOu7GGRRNPlSqjHDx7dE2M7ca357EDbW8NSGJi-z1caMq_tQCwaqiELLcaG0KvRqLSYlPjMPSz-/s1600/SmileRoosevelt.jpeg" /></a></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
As a interesting side note, non-English
speaking cultures have developed their own versions of the “cheese”
trick. In Mexico and Argentina, they say 'whisky' and in France, 'dit
souris' ('say mouse').
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
During the Victorian era (1837-1901) it
is rumored that photographers told their subjects to say “prunes.”
This produced a much more mild facial expression than “cheese.”
This helped people keep a small mouth with firmly closed lips.
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
There were a few reasons behind this
trend of unsmiling photos. These neutral expressions were used
because photographs required a very long exposure time along with
poor dental hygeine.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
When Kodak came along and photos could
be captured more quickly and by just about anyone, smiles came in
vogue. More casual moments were caught on film, taking with them
every expression the human face can make.
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
And then we evolved to what is now
known as the “duck face.”</div>

<br />
Washing windows with my step-dad today, I was reminded that I lack
common sense. I have always been more book-smart than street-smart
when it comes to pretty much anything. I didn't exactly expect to be
washing windows for my mom to make up for borrowing $100 last month.<br />
<br />
<br />
My step-dad asked me: "What did they teach you in college?"<br />
My reply: "Literary analysis."<br />
Him: "That doesn't help you clean windows, does it?"<br />
<br />

It also doesn't teach you street-smarts or common sense. <br />
<br />
A person who is street-smart is attuned to and adept at surviving
in an urban, poor, and often criminal environment. I have always
lived a sheltered life, and when I ventured into the great unknown, I
cried for my mommy. It has taken practice but I have learned to keep
my ignorant mouth shut... most of the time.<br />
<br />
The word "street-smart" is a back-formation of the word
"street smarts," which originated in 1972. Yes, I had
to look up the definition of back-formation: a shortened word created
from a longer word. For example, "bus" is a back-formation
of "omnibus." Like a nickname for a kid with a massive
moniker.<br />

Common sense has a more detailed history. In the 14th Century, the
word referred to the philosophy of mentally combining information
gathered by the five senses, a.k.a. "ordinary understanding."
It came to mean the sensible and logical understanding that enables a
person to make good decisions and sound judgements.<br />
<br />
My biggest problem washing the windows was figuring out how to
reach them. Some were very tall and most were behind bushes. A few
were on the other side of a koi pond. It involved a lot of
manoeuvring, standing on steps, and extending the length of the
squeegee.<br />
None of which I learned how to do in college. <br />

A euphemism is a word or phrase usually used to describe or talk about uncomfortable topics. Two of the biggest contenders are death and sex. I recently came across a <a href="http://www.linkedin.com/groups/Euphemisms-1822758.S.229606376?qid=0ac762b0-2070-45c6-83e7-bc92653759ff&trk=group_most_popular-0-b-ttl&goback=.gmp_1822758">discussion</a> of death euphemisms and how one language, Marathi (a language in India), supposedly does not have a euphemistic phrase in reference to death.<br />
<br />
As an adolescent, euphemisms amazed me. Some of them were downright poetic, as comedian George Carlin observed in his rant on sexual and genetalia-related euphemisms - some of my favourites: one-eyed wonder worm, the painters are in, and waxing the dolphin.<br />
<br />

George Carlin is one of my favourite comedians because he uses stand-up as a way to philosophize, and he often discusses the evolution and use of language. This <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vuEQixrBKCc">clip</a>, for instance, starts with the evolution of post-traumatic stress disorder: shell shock --> battle fatigue --> operational exhaustion --> post-traumatic stress disorder. I am so disappointed I never got to see this man in action, but I vow to name one of my children Carlin (or at least use it as a middle name) to honour his memory.<br />

And, finally, comes my gigantic list of euphemisms related to throwing up. I compiled these from my own memory and imagination, as well as by asking friends and acquaintances for their contributions. This was years ago, mind you, during my excessively annoying adolescent period. I don't remember how long the list was, but I want to say it extended to nearly 30 phrases. The most memorable? Praying to the porcelain god.<br />

assistant at a restaurant. Basically, that means I bus tables and
help carry food out to guests. I am curious to know where the word
busing came from and if it has any relationship to bus as a vehicle.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Busing means clearing tables of dirty
plates, leftover food, etc. Originally the word for busboy was
<a href="http://connection.ebscohost.com/c/reference-entries/24287871/bus">omnibus</a>, a Latin word meaning “for all.” This term may have
applied to people who cleared tables because they bussed all the
tables. At the time, omnibus also referred to a horse-drawn carriage
predecessor to the motor bus.
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
The first usage of bus as clearing
tables in a restaurant dates back to 1913. It is also possible that
the word referred to a <a href="http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Etymology_of_bus_boy">four-wheeled cart</a> used to carry dishes.</div>

At 12:40 a.m. Thursday, Rand Paul
finally ended his 13-hour filibuster to delay voting on President
Obama's drone policy. According to Paul, “I will speak until I can
no longer speak .” Being the word-geek I am, I decided to dig into
this awkward-sounding “filibuster”.
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
The first thing I think when I hear
“filibuster” is actually the pun Tiny Tunes used, “Fill a
Buster.” One of the characters, Buster, a precocious little blue
bunny was subsequently filled with air from a pump and then released
like a balloon to fly around. Obviously not an accurate definition. (Watch it <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ESsQPITTjYA">HERE </a>at 3:10).</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
One blogger (<a href="http://theypu.com/blog/2010/01/27/pirate-proof-supermajority-or-what-etymology-teaches-us-about-the-filibuster/">known as Cam</a>) notes that “
filibustering politicians are pirates hijacking our democracy.” And
it is scary just how true that is. A filibuster is a tactic used by
politicians to delay a vote by giving long, often irrelevant
speeches.

opposition to civil rights legislation. Thurmond recited from the
Declaration of Independence, the Bill of Rights, George Washington’s
farewell address and other historical documents to waste away the
time. You would think senators were hourly employees!<br />

<br />
The etymology (origin) of filibuster is an interesting one. First
used in the 1580's, the word came from “flibutor,” meaning
<a href="http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=filibuster">pirate</a>, and ultimately the Dutch “vribuiter,” or freebooter, a
term used for pirates in the West Indies. The Spanish was
“filibustero” and the French was “filibustier.”
<br />
<br />
In the political sense, “filibuster” did not make an
appearance until 1865. The extension of meaning from a term for
pirates to delaying politicians arose because they “pirated” the
debate.
<br />
When asked if I like ninjas or pirates (the age-old debate) I
usually choose pirates. They have a better personality, and they
drink lots of rum. But these “pirates” are just irritating.

My brain likes to run with a train of thought until it crashes or falls off the track. Recently started working at Red Lobster also, and my boyfriend showed me an internet video - <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fjtVsYqAR3s">"Lobster Sticks to Magnet."</a><br />
<br />
Sometimes I think I should post about all the memes and random pop culture things I don't understand. Problem is most of them are old and I seem to be the only one out of the loop. Case in point: recently learned the origins of "sad panda" (hint: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQnNH7I07RY">Southpark</a>).<br />
<br />
But does this "lobster sticks to magnet" have any basis in reality? Not really. Of course, lobsters don't stick to magnets because they are not made of metal - at least they shouldn't be. However, lobsters navigate by use of <a href="http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2003/01/0106_030106_lobster.html">magnetism</a>, using the earth's magnetic field as a compass.<br />
<br />
Yay, I learned something?

<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Everything spinning,</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Astounded by direction.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
A true mother, feeling orange,</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Ready to choose between</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Happy, free, confused and lonely.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Truly honest, sometimes
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
It can't be said</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Because kisses and farts don't care</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Where you find love.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
And all those other people have no
idea,</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Blame it on getting lost.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
This girl has sunburn in her eyes.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
She will break you.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
In her head, the best men</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Move both today and tomorrow.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
In her heart, she says
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
A perfectionist smiles with her hands.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Her six-year-old daughter's handwriting</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Announces crazy laughter.</div>

Expensive presents, beautiful music.

In 1951, love dreams of having this
year,</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Entertaining witness protection,
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Drinking with a friend.
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
But does anybody really have a good
night?</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Where does Rosemary stash the joy?</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
We aren't even going to be happy with
Christmas.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
If this “snow” keeps up, those who
pray</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Will make us pull over and cry.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
The suffering is over.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
This half-naked lady, a really cute
montage,</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Walked right into the lamp post.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Her ripped dress, silenced until
tomorrow,</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Looks like the Brothers Grimm.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Outside the house, she sleeps well,
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Touched up by a snowy afternoon.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
