#302: Dubiety and Dubi Eh-tea

I never sit around wonderin' what it is that's going to make it into this trek through mental miasma next. I just don't say anything if there's nothin' to say and crank somethin' out when weird stuff comes up.

Today The Boss was touting his linguistics with the word "dubiety" in reference to some line of bull either I or some of the other people in the group decided to spout. Of course, we were dubious of the fact that dubiety was really a word. Well, an email later showed that Merriam and Webster had conspired on the side of The Boss this time. (I told him if it was a real word, Americans would spell it with two "o's" instead of a "u." Just so's ya knows, some synonyms are "mistrust, question, skepticism, suspicion and uncertainty."

Dubi Eh-tea is now a persona made-up-a; A Maladjusted Mid-Easterner who may have more than a few things to say in the upcoming issues of Self Indulgent B.S. or may even have a blog of his own some day. Dubi would be his city of origin. Eh-tea is his pseudonym made from one part Canadian "Eh?" and one part fermented Anglo-Saxon beverage that would not even marginally fit the definition usually suggested but might have the effects of the ninth definition on Dictionary.com...marijuana...when served in the afternoon around 4pm.

And if you doubt any of this, maybe you are the real Dubi Eh-tea, Eh?!! ;p
