Wizard of Id by Parker and Hart for July 06, 2010

Priorities, people.

It’s a freaking miracle. Let’s all celebrate.

That’ll keep the bar solvent for quite awhile. The King should be happy, since he’ll get some more tax money.

Hey, I’ll drink to that.

What did he pay it with?

That’s a royal treatment.

It would have been better if the carpet was actually red. (And the rest of the comic was in color too.)

Hey maybe the king finally pried his tight little fist open enough to pay Bung some of the back wages he is owed. That would probably cover a lot of Bung’s bills.

In 12 years of public education I can say without doubt I never knew there was that much information about a Slang Word… Or should I say in 12 years of public education I never thought there should be that much information about a Slang Word!

Happy 6th of July everyone!

(Baseball’s first All-Star game was held in 1933.)

one of my favorites from cheers;

Sam checks Norm’s tab; vol 1; first entry. i beer on Norm, skinny guy at end of bar.

Yeah, Joe, for pity’s sake just let it go.

It’s one of many words people use to not quite cuss, dang it.

Or taken literally, it’s freakish enough to be miraculous, that Bung covered his tab.

Freaks. Speed freaks. Freaks and geeks. Freak out, Le Chic. Freakin’ a. Don’t freak on me, Man!

Words. Misused, abused, massaged, messaged, spoken, misspoken, token, oaken, broken, chokin’.

The thing about American English that freaks out so many Latin echoing grammarians is that we like to have FUN with the language.

And besides, would anyone have spent very much time on good old Bung’s enjoyment of vino if not for the linguistic bean-o?

You’d think the barkeep would’ve retired with that kind of windfall.

Now that Bung’s all paid up, maybe he’ll buy us all a round.

THE ECONOMY IS SAVED!
