Meanings

The prior post was meant to signify I was "well oiled" meaning a euphemism for saying I had had a couple of "adult beverages," which is of course another euphuism in itself. 

Euphemisms are indeed an interesting part of the vernacular of our language.  I enjoy them in my daily speech, and I find that they give color and nuance to what we say in ways that are fun.  Perhaps it is because much of the time I am in "science mode" where euphemisms ARE NOT the norm is why I like them so much in my non-work speech and writings?  I even allude to them a bit in part of my job, when I am teaching.  I find that I can slip in occasional non-standard terms or phrases when I teach.

I appreciate all forms of comments on my writings. I find that I miss the sponteneity of coming to read them here when they were unmoderated. I believe I wrote less due to the moderation. I have decided to adopt limited moderation. Hopefully the prior problems with unfettered comments will not arise again. Please feel free to comment as you wish about the essays I write. I will maintain those comments that offer kind-hearted and gentle opinion... be it positive or negative. The opinions of your comments will, of course, need to have relevance to the post as well.
