The beauty of the English language especially is its abilitity to flourish and grow as a living breathing entity, sometimes in radical and shockingly innovative ways. We grimace at the next generation's use of language at our peril, it will have its way and thrive in spite of us. If we want to influence that we need to have the deftness and unbounded outlook to offer our own linguistically creative gems. The real heroes of language are those who have the energy and originality to keep it alive by creating ever new forms within it. Yawn, sorry I am putting myself to sleep here, I'll get my coat.

Sure, they may have a short shelf life, but that doesn't lessen the wit. One of my favourite examples: 'NORTHWEST NAP' A very deep sleep where you are unable to hear telephones, audio warnings, text messages, and even the Air Force. Named to honor the two fine pilots from Northwest Airlines and their little in flight snooze that caused them to overfly their destination by 150 miles and eventually lose their jobs. Who among us as not had a Northwest Nap? Only we weren't at the controls of a jetliner at 30,000 ft!
