Train of Though
While driving to work this morning, the new Death Cab for Cutie song "Soul Meets Body" came on and it struck me that the intro reminded me of the immortal Cher classic "Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves" (now I'm REALLY showing my age). This in itself was strange enough; I mean where the hell did I pull this one out from? It's absolutely amazing the amount of fecal buildup in my cranium. So anyway, this got me thinking about the word Tramp. No one uses that word anymore really. Not that it was a great word or anything, but it has gone out of general usage. Then that got me to thinking; how do words not get passed on from generation to generation and what makes some words fall out of popular favor and others come into common usage? Help me folks, I need to know this!!
