C.R.A.P: What is This World Coming To?
It's seems that these days words are undergoing an even more rapid evolution than I had initially imagined. By now we should all be relatively familiar with the following new definitions:
- sick - to be extremely good, impressive. "That drummer was sick last night, man!"
- phat - pronounced "fat", to be cool. "Those are some phat sunglasses!"
Well, I heard a new one last night from the mouth of a 10 year-old girl. Here's how the conversation went:
Younger Brother: "My friends and I are going to start a band."
Mom: "Oh, that's nice son!"
Older Sister: "Your band is going to sound like crap!"
Mom: "Honey, that's not nice!"
Older Sister: "No, mom - it's a good thing!"
Mom: "What?!?"
Older Sister: "Yeah - you know, CRAP: Christians Reaching All People."
Wow.

Hmmm. Based on yesterday's post- How about:
P.H.A.T. Preachers hollering about tripe.

Somehow, I doubt that C.R.A.P. will be sweeping the nation anytime soon. As for me, I don't need a quasi-spiritual anagram to justify my saying "crap". Considering all the more offensive words I've given up using since becoming a Christian, I convince myself that God is okay with my use of "crap", and, if I'm really feeling my oats, I have been known to throw in an occasional "freakin'".....and, by the way, I am pretty sure that "phat" has fallen from the nation's collective lexicon to its untimely death, as have the phrases, "Crack is wack", and "Fo' shizzle". May they rest in peace. I love your blog, by the way...I stumbled on it google-ing a Music City Marathon query. I have been a Downhere fan for years. God Bless!

Sorry, kids, but CRAP will always hold its original meaning in my mind! Thanks for making me feel old whe I'm still in my 20s. Hahaha.

This is my favorite Watercooler Wednesday. Hysterical, a little sobering and on a positive note, quite ingenuous!!

Okay, I feel really out of date now. So much for being relevant. Kids these days!
