I think I'll sleep tonight

Oh sure, you'll be able to sleep but I'll be up all night wanting to know what this is all about!

I may resign myself to thinking it has something to do with the times and the China/Japan/Mongolia thing. Maybe the poor Mongolians didn't know what to do, attacked from all sides. LOL. Who knows.

I am hoping Iris7 has a better clue too or Phil. I need sleep. ;-)

Okay sweets . . . we'll see what they say and I have another contact. Goodnight.

Well, google failed me on this one. "When in worry or in doubt, run in circles, scream and shout." Sounds and meter come from a Germanic language, through Middle English, not Latin nor Semitic, and old Greek is Greek to me. Maybe from the Eurasian steppe or even farther back. Most of our swear words come from Germanic languages.

I became convinced that salty language in the Navy style has endured for millennia. The true swab who can't speak the language would have as his first spoken word "Sh__" and his second "moth__ ______". The third is "Aye Aye, Sir."
