I Wonder why if we are suffering the effects of global warning.. that the UK has had no true summer for two years [or is this GW ]

I Wonder why the gremlins are out and about...car trouble...oven broken...washing machine broken... momey money money,,

I Wonder if the origin of the word Taboo explains its myth
Word History: Among the many discoveries of Captain James Cook was a linguistic one, the term taboo. In a journal entry from 1777, Cook says this word "has a very comprehensive meaning; but, in general, signifies that a thing is forbidden.... When any thing is forbidden to be eat, or made use of, they say, that it is taboo." Cook was in the Friendly Islands (now Tonga) at the time, so even though similar words occur in other Polynesian languages, the form taboo from Tongan tabu is the one we have borrowed. The Tongans used tabu as an adjective. Cook, besides borrowing the word into English, also made it into a noun referring to the prohibition itself and a verb meaning "to make someone or something taboo." From its origins in Polynesia the word taboo has traveled as widely as Cook himself and is now used throughout the English-speaking world.


I wonder if because it ws the 'Friendly Islands' the locals adopted the term Taboo to refrain from speaking or doing things that offended others...and a bit of superstition was added for good measure.......

I wonder if enough people in the world talked about uncomfortable subjects then we could turn the word on its head and give it 'a.boot' [anagramn]so to speak.
