Something to Know - 22 December

1.  Most of the readers of this ...(whatever this is), are people who are around my age, and somewhat removed from the development of new words that enter social conversations.   Most of them are developed by younger people who are adventurous with the English language and who prefer to invent new ways to name something that we really do not understand.  To that end, enjoy this:

2.  Catching up on some of the stuff I missed while I was cruising, I came across this piece in the Business section of the LA Times this morning.   If you have not yet seen "Inequality for All", by Robert Reich, you can start by reading this by Michael Hiltziik, and then catch the movie on Netflix:
