Mula sa araw na ito… ako ay magbabago…

Ingles na ang wikang gagamitin ko… at bilang pasimula narito ang isang munting kwento…

Remember whe HIPPIE meant big in the hips; and a TRIP involved travel in planes, cars and ships? When POT was a vessel for cooking things in, and HOOKED was the thing that a fish might have been…

When FIX was a verb that meant mend or repair, and BE IN meant simply existing somewhere.  When NEAT meant well-organized, tidy and clean, and GRASS was a ground cover, usually green.

When lights and not people were SWITCHED ON and OFF, and the PILL might have been what you took for a cough.  When CHICKEN meant poultry and BAG meant a sack, and JUNK - trashy castoffs and old bric-a-brac.

When JAM was preserves that you spread on your bread, and CRAZY meant balmy - not quite right in the head?  When CAT was a feline, a kitten growing up, and TEA was a liquid you drak from a cup.  When SWINGER was someone who swung on a swing, and a PAD was soft and cushiony thing.

When WAY OUT meant distant and far, far away and a man couldn’t sue you for calling him GAY.   Words once so sensible, sober, and seroius are making the FREAK SCENE like PSYCHEDELIRIOUS.

It’s GROOVY, MAN, GROOVY, but English it’s not.

Me thinks that the language has gone straight to POT
