Drinking Ourselves To Death

Homo Sapiens have existed for about 200,000 years. Other than the bit of milk from our mother’s teet, water was the only beverage mankind enjoyed. Sure, the juice from fruit and vegetables did their part to keep us hydrated, but water was the workhorse. Today, your average human might drink a glass of water a […]

Alternatives to Rock

“Hey, how was the band last night?”“They rocked.” There are so few alternatives to “rock” as a descriptive verb. Even talented banjo players very much rock. There have to be some alternatives, though. Slang can’t last forever, no matter how popular and ubiquitous. Here are some possible alternatives to rock, as suggested by my thesaurus […]
