I Am Interesting and Special … Or Am I? | Eastern North Carolina Now

The People Whose Job It Is To Change Thing Are Changing Things

ENCNow
    We must have a whole bunch of people in our Ruling Body whose job it is to change what we call things. Just when we think we know what's going on, the People Who Change Things go and Change Things.

    What am I talking about? I guess it is best to give some familiar examples...
    •We used to have a Secretary of War but now we have a Secretary of Defense.
    •We used to have Congressmen but now we have Congresspersons.
    •We used to have Jungles but now we have Rain Forests.
    •We used to have City Dumps but now we have Transfer Stations.
    •We used to have bombs that were called Bunker Busters but now we have Peacekeeper Missiles.

    The Smartfella is into TV Detective Shows. I have picked up on a change that must have come from the People Who Change Things which, at first, had me confused but since I am sly, cunning and alert I did figure it out but not without some difficulty.

    If someone had referred to Fella as a "Person of Interest" this is the kind of thing that would have run through my mind...
    •I most certainly am a Person of Interest because I am witty, as is evident by my ability to create these highly entertaining bits of Foolishness.
    •Of course I am a Person of Interest because I waste a lot of time coming up with these worthless bits of Foolishness.
    •I definitely am a Person of Interest because you people who read my mind wanderings spend a lot of time laughing at and/or trying to figure out what the heck I am talking about.
    I have finally figured out that a Person of Interest is a person who is suspected of committing a crime. They used to be called Suspects but now they are Interesting People.

    What's next? Since there appears to be a desperate movement afoot to not call anything anything Male or Masculine or He-man, are we on the cusp of having the People Who Change Things redo the title of the person who delivers our mail from a Mail Man to a Person Person?

    Would I kid u?
