Why don’t we start with “A man is only as good as his word.”
I’m more concerned about the words the younger generation is losing. We need to throw them into your posts now and then.
For example:
Cockamamy as in, “It’s a cockamamy university.”
Whippersnapper: as in, “He’s a young whippersnapper.”
Caddywompus: as in, “That table is caddywompus to the wall.”
etc In fact this should have been the post.
“Soonest begun, soonest done.”
