Sanguine Tenacious Tidings

Who Knew!

Talk Tuesday! Do you have a catchphrase? Something you find yourself saying often, or are known for saying? How did it come to be?

I use Cool! a lot. It was popular in the 1960's. Plus, I think Fonzie used it on Happy Days. Fonzie was played by Henry Winkler. Of course Fonzie was the Coolest!

And then it really hasn't gone out of style.

I also like I use this especially when I'm learning something new. Which is often. The origin of this expression was difficult to find. Reference:http://www.wordorigins.org/index.php/forums/viewthread/1362/One definition I turned up said it was a sarcastic phrase about something considered to be obvious but I liked mild surprise better on wordorigins.org.

After I joined I sometimes use Write On! Because it sounds so encouraging and has a kind of jazzy spark to it in my mind. It is one of those "Words are pegs to hang ideas on," kind of meanings. Of course the origin is WDC.

I use "Happy Trails" to sign letters and other written endings. This is inspired by Roy Rogers.

The next phrase was used by the Salvation Army as a slogan before WWI. It may be dated even earlier. It has shown up in Eddie Hendricks in soul Music and pops up in musical renditions more than once.

Keep on Keepin on!
