Another Friday night
my cousin and I make the trek to the
local Big Y World Class Supermarket
for the sole reason of reading the Y section of the dictionary.
So we sat in the cafe section, drinking Icees (coughSICKENINGlySweet), and reading the Y’s, of which there were 6 pages. We each read 4 or 5 entries then switched turns. It only took an hour and a half?
There were a lot of Asian words, again. Like places, mountains, people.
I think there were more exciting words in the Q section. But there were some good ones.
And, well, the next time I see someone I hadn’t seen in a while and I say “Wow, I haven’t seen you in years!” And they challenge me, I can refer them to definition three of the American Heritage dictionary, third college edition, word: years)- which states that years can be an indefinite amount of time (i.e. a long time)- I guess a hyperbole, no?
