Many bells— pleasant ones. I grew up in a conservative Catholic household.

I find the phrase “rip off” interesting if you think about the origin of words and the larger context of human intelligence. I understand that a linguist’s analysis of language and/or reality does not appeal to everyone. Please mute me because I find language fascinating & I will continue to share what brings me a joy. And if you are a troll— under a bridge— no

worries— I’m chill. You are part of my fairytale. But I might need to mute you.
