At last. A reason to love Nordstrom's! I've been convinced for years that their shoe department is an evil plot against me and exists for the sole (get it? sole?) purpose of separating me from my time and money. And giving me blisters.
Oh, Laura, you have no idea how much I love you right now. I've worked in retail (also known as HELL...maybe you've heard of it) for the past 8 years. The decorations at my store go up the first week of November, as does the go ahead to IRRITATE our customers (and employees!) with the lovely jingles of the holiday season. Black Friday is a week away and I'm already SICK OF IT ALL. Bah humbug, apparently, is our company motto.
what happen when you talk too fast (and too often) and force evolve English by combining words to abbreviate. Combreviations are dogs, bred to be likable, useful, and friendly, while most words come out of the natural selection of English. Sure, they may not be the fittest, but damn if everyone doesn't love them.
Seriously.
