What is a Smorgasbord?

As some of you may know, the english definition of a "smorgasbord" means a diverse group of objects or things. But where did this quirky word come from? Well the term "smorgasbord" is actually Scandinavian. There it means a diverse table of food, or buffet. If you use the word "smorgasbord" there, you would actually be making a reference to a buffet. The term Smorgasbord is also used throughout the world meaning multiple things in certain regions. For example, The Canadian "Chinese Smorgasbord" is a buffet style used for Chinese cuisine. Of course we use it for just about anything. Sometimeschefs make a reference, or clerks use it at their store. Which is why my blog is called "your smorgasbord" meaning we can be taking a ride through pretty much anywhere!

The language of texters.

Face it, most of us text. Some text more than others. Some go so far as to text in the shower! As our society gets lazier and lazier, we become more dependent on electronics and technology. We are even getting to where laziness is a factor in technology. For example, when texting someone instead of saying "hey I'll be right back" we shorten those 5 words down to "Brb" or "G2g". This isn't new us or anyone who is alive and breathing, we pretty much are just lazy when it comes down to texting. But more and more am I seeing it in everyday world and even dialect! It's becoming to some, an annoyance. Saying "OMG" instead of "Oh my gosh" is very annoying to a lot of people around you. Some think that it's insulting to intelligence. While others think that it's just normal tongue. What do you think of this new language or do you even think of it as a problem? Let me know in the comments! Have a wonderful day!
Much love!
