Hi anyone who will listen,

I am new on today so be kind to me please!!! I just typed daft into google and came up with this, cool!!!

This is a brill site, although I am finding my feet yet. I am a excessive talker so you will probably all get dead bored with me. Besides that I have an abnormal amount of time on my hands when I should be cleaning and cooking and stuff.

Hope to talk to you all again soon.

Gather 'round, Chillun' and let ol' grandma Quoth lay some heavy Jive on ya...
Once upon a time, when the word "Funk" first came into vogue, it stood for stench, pong, or B.O....pretty much a very bad smell... and usually associated with poor hygiene... I beleive that it was also a last name as well, as in "Funk and Wagnalls' encyclopedia" (Which was an oft used inside joke, on Rowan and Martin's laugh in... as in: "Put that in your Funk and Wagnall's"). Can you imagine being Mr. or Ms. Funk?

Over time, the word evolved a meaning like: "To be under a dark cloud". A very introspective, but bad, mood.

And, of course, Funky became, "Cool, down to earth, real."

(Remember in the song THriller, when Vincent Price was talking about "the funk of fourty thousand years"? that was pretty much a pun, as you could take it either way you pleased...).

And that there is th' real jive, turkeys...
