CALLED OUT!

Of all people... it was my loving husband that called me out! And damn quick I might add. Claiming that SHMANCY was not my word at all and that Fancy Schmancy had been in circulation for years.

To this I rubut... TOO TRUE! However, schmancy (as in fancy schmancy) is used as either an insult to high class or as a high brow word for a common item. SHMANCY, on the other hand, is positive and uplifiting... all about the good and shine!

The dictionary is full of similar words with different meanings:
Here / Hear
Heard / Herd
Hair / Hare
(why so many 'H's?)
There / Their
Etc...
So, now we add schmancy & SHMANCY!

This is my argument and I am standing by it!

Expressions

I’ve noticed that I’ve been using the expression “holy cow” quite often… especially when instant messaging. After typing it, yet again, today it struck me… what “in the hell” does that mean exactly? What am I talking about… and where in the world did it come from? So I did a search. And the bottom line was that no one really knows for certain where in the “blue blazes” such an odd expression came from. Oh sure, there’s plenty of speculation… but no definitive answer. Amazing. Suffice to say that we’re all just a bunch of “tards” communicating daily with idiotic gibberish. “JEEPERS!”

So, I would like to offer up a new expression to our highly evolved society… “SHMANCY!” Feel free to use it! Spread it amongst your community! It is a combination of Shiny & Fancy with the added feature of the letter ‘M’. Why ‘M’? Why not!?! I’ve been saying it for months but the published origin is right here right now! And to think you were here to be part of this exciting moment in time! Say it with pride! “That new car is SHMANCY!” “The party was SHMANCY!” “Dinner was SHMANCY, thank you!”

And with that contribution… “I’m off like a herd of turtles!”
