Why
Yes....why?
Why do we have to work. This full-time 9 to 5 business is really starting to get me down. It's not even 20:30 and I feel like gouging my eyes out and putting them to rest. They are so sore from staring at computer screens the whole day (the irony of this blog....) and now I insist on inflicting more torture on them by studying.
Funny thing, when I type up these things, I'm very particular on my spelling....don't want to look like a div and all. Anyways, my trusty friend the free dictionary provides this definition for gouge :
1. To cut or scoop out with or as if with a gouge: "He began to gouge a small pattern in the sand with his cane" Vladimir Nabokov.
2.
a. To force out the eye of (a person) with one's thumb.
b. To thrust one's thumb into the eye of.
3. Informal To extort from.
4. Slang To swindle.
I honestly thought that they wouldn't put that in a dictionary....oh well, nothing seems to be shocking anymore. These ramblings are going nowhere, so I shall bid adieu and go sleep....at 20:30!
