On the last Drinks & Daves we talked a little about new phrases for things that don't need new phrases. The Bay Area is currently feeling the effects from an atmospheric river. Or...rain. I know for sure not that long ago there was no talk of atmospheric rivers. Maybe a jet stream, or a low pressure area, all of a sudden now there are new fangled rivers that never existed before I guess. Or maybe some weather people don't feel important enough just saying we'll be getting rain.

IKR? Rain became Rain Events, and now we have atmospheric rivers. Who thinks up this stuff?

You forget that English is the most descriptive language on the planet. Why say rain when you can call it 15 other things? Just look at how many ways there are to refer to the many parts of the human body. (hey look....I tied this back to Eric's Bingo game.....maybe he'll give me an extra call)

Sadly we mostly use the Latin/Greek, not the English words.

I challenge you to use the word "booty" in one of your work notes next week.
