Do not touch
Just when you think it couldn’t get worse, it does.
I’m on about the terminology that we are having to suffer while the Virus Panic persists.
I’m sick of being told to “stay safe” or “stay at home”. I am sick of hearing about “our heroes” and “frontline workers”. Now all we hear about is the “roadmap to recovery” which is basically a sort of plan that seems to vary from day to day.
One of the worst is the all pervasive ubiquitous “social distancing”. What the fuck is social about it? Hugging, shaking hands, kissing and touching are all social activities practised since the dawn of time. Now they are outlawed and they call that ban “social”? It is about as anti-social as you can get.
I heard a bit of the news last night. There was an item on about hotels opening [as part of the fucking “roadmap to recovery”] and I heard some bloke saying he was leaving the hotel doors permanently open as part of a “touch avoidance policy”. What the fuck was that? Then I realised – he was leaving the doors open in case Precious should come along and wouldn’t have to touch a door handle in case the Virus was lurking on it waiting to pounce. How fucking neurotic can you get?
The world is becoming a very irritating place.
Is there an agency charged with the invention of these terms? Are they paid by the term or do they work for a flat rate?
Maybe I should invent a few, copyright them and then charge a premium for their use?
Presumably, there is someone in your former place of employment who decides which should be used. You would be in with a good chance of contributing to the vocabulary, Grandad's Normative Neologisms has a good sound about it.
Leaving the doors open prevents them for being damaged as badly when the looters, ops the very passionate protesters, come to liberate your place of business or residence.
There are reports that fresh air, sunlight, and alcohol may kill the virus. So to be safe everyone need to be in their backyard, naked, and drinking at least that is what I will try to explain to the police when they show up.
"So to be safe everyone need to be in their backyard, naked, and drinking" I must mention that to the neighbours?
True. All I can say to these zombies is' world economic forum agenda 2030;- google it')
A blueprint on how to revert to the stone age?
New phrases. It is like picking your porn star name.
Doors open. Always thought that toilets used by public should have no doors, like airports. Now pubs have these supersoonic turbo charged hand driers you can tell who has not washed their hands. There are a lot of them.
