neo-
As a frequent lurker here, and someone amused by our language, I can't pass up commenting on Bfair's sign-off to a couple of his recent messages,
Neo-Romantic
Neo-Know-Nothing
According to Merriam-Webster,
neo-
1 a : new : recent b : new and different period or form of : in a new and different form or manner c : New World d : new and abnormal 2 : new chemical compound isomeric with or otherwise related to (such) a compound
Let's see, definition 1a for Neo-Romantic. Recent Romantic. What were you before? unresponsive; unfeeling, unloving; dry? Are you recently married? Recently divorced?
Or, perhaps, definition 1d for Neo-Know-Nothing. Abnormal-Know-Nothing. Hmmm. Makes one wonder what a normal know nothing is like. Or, even an abnormal know-something?
Just funnin', guys. Just ignore this folderol, unless of course you want to reply with good natured flames!
