Dictionaries try to keep up with the times. Words begin somewhere. They are tugged and twisted into shape by many folks until they settle into a stable form everyone understands. If the word SLONG shows up in Webster, will someone please make it a Wikipedia entry and tag its origin to this episode of our podcast? This is the second week in a row when our verbal stumbling led to giggling merriment as we riffed together. You're welcome…FC2.0 is contributing efficiency to the English language. The lesson: whenever possible – even if you need to be inventive - save the world some time by using one word rather than two or more.
