Groovy Words
Lately, I've been on a nostalgia craze listening in my car to the 70s station on Sirius XM.
It's been like dusting off old treasures in your attic.
Oh my gosh! Seasons in the Sun. Remember that one? What a sappy song that was (insert laughter here).
This is how I came across a song by Positive Force called We've Got the Funk. I hadn't heard it in 30 years. So, before I knew it, I was doing some embarrassing chair dancing at a stoplight while the guy parked next to me looked on in horror.
Later, I realized how much word meanings can change over time. Funk was a groovy word to use in the 70s. But I don't think it would be today. Nowadays, it sounds like an STD.
Hey! Everybody! Stay away from Tyler. He's got the Funk.
What was groovy almost forty plus years ago takes on the equivalent response to today's Ebola virus.
For that matter, who the heck uses groovy anymore.
Makes you think, what will they say forty years from now about our groovy words that we use today.
"Binge-watch" might be taken for a medical disease.
