Current favorite word that is making a comeback:
"Chum".
Not shark food, but meaning "friend" or "buddy".

I like all of those. Whirling dervish is good. Has everyone seen a real one? I remember seeing one on TV when I was a kid. They belong to a branch of Islam that teaches to love everything. How refreshing!
Reminds me of this. One of my all time favorite phrases!
" All you need is love"  |

If that means people who are overly interested in other people's private lives, I like that one!  Makes you wonder what their real problem is.   |

I needed this one today. I saw a young man who looked like a kid to me driving on Poplar Avenue and said to my better half, "Is he old enough to drive?" Then we laughed when I realized, Uh,oh, I must be getting old. 
It's been a few years since young 20-somethings started looking like children to me so a teenager behind the wheel was a real surprise.

I like this one, too.
Any idea why the crinkle crankle walls were made that way?
