The 'sband suggested that my entry yesterday was 'meditative' and that perhaps my reader would be a bit taken aback by it all. Well, I'm keeping it up with another list that I think you'll find contemplative and something on which to reflect.
To wit: lookism isn't the only -ism by which we live. Read and learn...
- Bookism - When people judge you by the books you read. I was just judged last week because I'm reading a book called Dodo. Book nothing, it's a trilogy!
- Captain Cookism - People judge you because, no matter how many times you travel around the world, you just never quite make it to the South Pole.
- Snookism - People judge you because, even though the majority of the attention you get is people making fun of you instead of with you, you don't care - you just want attention. And then you get pregnant cuz you live under the delusion that having another of you in the world would actually be a good idea.
- Gobbledygookism - When you see people rolling their eyes in your general direction because you think yer so cutting edge with yer Corporate Speak.
- By hook or by crookism - When people judge you for going after the really cute guy an aisle over at work even though the guy next to you says he straight, but you know better cuz he's too damn cute to be straight and you know he's gonna be your future husband, dammit.
- Kookism - You get judged because you try oh, so hard, and yet can't get closer than assonance.
- Canuckism - When the extremely ignorant judge you for having a thing for hockey players.
- Caoutchoucism - People judging you just because yer into...well...
- Wookism - When people judge you for being really tall, extremely hairy, and monosyllabic.
- Ewokism - Despite the fact that yer short, furry, and cute, people judge you as being even more annoying than it was thought possible. PS: Not only do you not rhyme, yer not even assonance.
My in-box was loaded with ideas from my reader yesterday. I can only assume the same will happen with this today...?
