This is a fun-loving crowd, so I present to you my thesis on the topic of our goshes. Yes, some of you have seen me skim the topic before, but for those who haven't, welcome.
I have heard many people make reference, in the course of conversation, to their personal goshes. Yet despite the commonality of this authoritative expression, a qualified definition of a gosh is hard to come by. What has yet to be ascertained, is whether or not each person in existence is in possession of their own personal gosh. And, if there are indeed members of our society who have, for one reason or another, failed to or declined to acquire a gosh, do they have the right to claim profession of one?
Clearly more research is needed, but if you have any pertinent information you'd like to share, you are cordially invited and encouraged to do so.

What? I have to explain this?  Okay. It's a cheeky way of saying, what exactly are we saying when we say, "Oh my gosh!"? Not just a surface glance, like, "It's an expression," because an expression expresses something. That means there's meaning behind it. We say it without thinking, but what really are we saying? The humor in it is the diversity between the "technical" language and the complete nonsense being represented. The contrast between the two designed to point out the complete meaninglessness of the phrase...except it isn't truly meaningless. We are expressing something. When you say, "Oh my gosh!" What exactly is your gosh? |

LOL poor natey. but your right, just an expression WH is just finding some humor in it all!! discussing something so.. well funny for lack of better word is sometimes better then discussing things that cause alot of .. well ANIMATED shall i call it hehe arguing, ty WH for lightening the site some with humor lol..
humor is sometimes the best medicine and I for one like to come on here to have fun and sometimes give my opinions but its a stress buster i guess thats why even tho I do pocess a bit of intelligence lol i tend to stay away from real in depth and lively debates i know some pple find it a stress buster to do that and it relieves tension in being able to let out some frustrations and such in that way but for me.. i have enuff tension and stress in my every day life so i love it when someone brings up something like this thread LOL.. makes me smile and for me.. that is whats relieves my stress..
ok so i rambled .. sorry pples.. but i have been told before i have the "gift of gab" lol, i admit it, but hey, when you spend 90% of your life inside a house with 2 small boys and rarely get to actually TALK to adults,, i have to LET it out somewhere hehe so guess you all been blessed (or cursed lol whichever way yous want to look at it ) with my ramblings,,
Luvs ya..TigerLily
