IMPORTANT NEWS

I lied. I don't have any important news. I only have this fact: the OED word-of-the-day today is "hoot(e)nanny." (I use that crazy spelling because they did it first.)

This has long since been a favorite word of mine.

My favorite moment in the definition was in the examples of usage: "Hootenanny.‥is to the folk singer what a jam session is to the jazzman." IS THIS TRUE, PEOPLE? IS THE COMPARISON JUST? I DON'T KNOW.

Also fabulous: "I love folk music, but the name ‘Hootenanny’ rather repels me."

So, in short: I am a giant dork and I love the OED like whoa. In case you are unclear on how a person can love like whoa, Mya will explain in further detail:

I have used Mya's grammatical construction more times than I can count. I think we should all just admit that she is wizard and be done with it. Because only Mya understands the value of pausing for a tap solo, right? Am I right? And, true, girl is not Gene Kelly. BUT. Would Gene have benefited from detachable pants in the middle of, say, Singing in the Rain? OBVIOUSLY the answer is "yes." Mya has wisdom for us, peoples. She has wisdom.

PS - There are reasons I should not be allowed online in the wee hours. Entries like this are at the top of the list. SORRY INTERNET.
