This year, like no other, has significance in its ending. We have a communal hopefulness that the next year will improve. We hope that there will be no other year like this one.
So I predict, given it is the end of the year, and there's a new one ahead, that 2020 will become part of our language as profanity. A second prediction is that Trump will become also become a profane term. I think it is going to start quite quickly with:
That's a load of 2020! and That's a load of Trump!
And will continue with What in the 2020...?
So I went searching for confirmation of my prediction and find I am a little late - it is already on public billboards big and bold.
I hadn't considered "Shut the 2020 up". There are a series of 2020 COVID-related messages that are very funny - they are HERE.
Three Sisters Park is in Illinois and this sign is for hire with personal messages - you can see many more on their facebook site HERE:
And what about Trump as a profane term? This idea hasn't taken off yet.
What has happened, is that the American Future Fund created an ad that displays Trump's public displays of profanity vs public policy. They feel that he is better at the profanity and so spent six figures on the ad. It is an aggregation of some of Trump's most notable public displays of profanity.
They include "motherf*****," "a**," "p***y," "d**n," "s***," and "f***." So maybe the profanity expressions will be:
Don't Trump around me
Clean up your Trump
Flush that Trump
Son of a Trump
I foresee a whole line of jokes, like the despicable Yo' Mama jokes. So we might be in for quite a ride.
This flower is Fritillaria meleagris with the common name Checkered Lily. It is very small, and I have it in the garden. We could imagine such a flower in Alice in Wonderland's Garden. There are fantasy hockey, baseball and basketball rankings, so why not fantasy garden flower rankings. Looks like the start of the 2021 intentions/resolutions.
