This is an interesting word/phrase I stumbled upon recently.
And it means : ambiguity of meaning arising from language that lends itself to more than one interpretation
E.g: "This straw really sucks" ( meaning a "bad" straw .. or a "good" straw because it sucks well)
one more : "This menu has bugs" (meaning that it offers "bugs" as an option, or that it has "defects")
Do you have more examples ?

Lesser of the two evils
Question : Whats the media buzz about these days ?
Apart from the wars and the subprime mortgage business, presidential candidates and their campaigns seem to be getting a lot of attention.
Actually this post is not about the presidential campaigns or candidates..but about all democratic elections in general.. whether its in the united states or somewhere else in the world.. presidential, state governor or even student council elections.
Excluding a very very very few exceptions(I cannot think of an example now, but like all things, I assume this must have some exceptions too), all of the other election campaingns seem to follow one pattern. Instead of focussing on what they can do "better", they seem to concentrate more on whats "worse" about their opponents. Is it because they lack the good ideas/plans they can talk about ?

Monday
Monday Morning Blues
Its raining cats and dogs and a chilly 29 degrees.. at 6:30 AM ..this morning, I got on my daily bus and noticed a similar expression on almost everyone's face - "I am not happy being here."
Even if the weather wasn't so bad, monday mornings in general seem to be a bit of the "Dont disturb me" days.. Most people seem to be not too excited about it. Is it because they dont like what they would do the rest of the day/week until the next weekend ? Or is it just the start of the routine factor that annoys them ? or may be lack of sleep over the weekend they were planning to catch up on...that they never did due to many social activities. I came into work thinking about it and I have to say everyone here too seems a bit rigid.. and not so approchable.. unlike most of the other days. I guess in my case, its just the start of another busy week.. after a fun/tiring weekend.. and even though I love what I do at work... monday mornings are somehow the most boring time of the week... :(
Do you also suffer from the "Monday Morning Blues" ?
