Unborn, Undying

Hmmm..i'm feeling very lethargic today, I cannot seem to focus on anything at all..my conference paper. my Foucault reading or even that horrid heap of research papers I need to annotate, and I'm getting paid to do it too! Ah, the horror...

On the other hand, did you know that "Hurrah" is originally a Danish/German/Swedish exclamation? You betcha! "Huzza" is a sailor's expression and "Hooray" seems to have the same origins as "Hurrah" Interesting. So next time you use those words, remember that they are part of a masculine signifying economy that glorifies violence, bloodshed and rapine as viable economic modes of exchange and social interaction.

Yes indeed
Wipe that blood off your mouth

Of course, not that there's anything wrong with that per se...
