What's that you say?
Spring break is over and state lawmakers returned to the Capitol, this week, for the sprint to the May finish. And, sometimes, in the heat of ... well ... in the heat of whatever heat they happen to be in at any given time, interesting words are used during debate.
Such is the case during Senate floor debate this week. Senator Jason Crowell (R-Cape Girardeau) took it upon himself to bring some of that great and colorful southeast Missouri language to put smiles on a few faces. During discussion with Senator Jeff Smith (D-St. Louis), he introduced the words "idioticy" and "idiocracy" to describe things he sees as ... idiotic.
You know ... they might not be real words ... but anyone who listens to what Crowell is saying has no doubt about the point he is trying to convey.
And to be honest ... listening to different expressions and ways of saying things from the various regions of the state ... it's really one of the "funnest" things I do.
