Not an Island

August 2, 2010

We’ve all heard the phrase, “No man is an island.” Well, baby, I’m an island. I’m the closest thing to it. I’m a rock. And a rock feels no pain. And an island never cries. Shielded in my armor. I’ve got my poetry to protect me. I touch no one and no one touches me!

Gay used to mean a happy person, and slut meant a woman with soiled clothing, not necessarily one who committed adultery. It is therefore somewhat fitting and [...]

Since nobody uses it, why do we have the word “ouch,” the sound you make when you hurt yourself? Where did this word come from?
