HAG n. An elderly ordtak

en HAG, n. An elderly lady whom you do not happen to like; sometimes called, also, a hen, or cat. Old witches, sorceresses, etc., were called hags from the belief that their heads were surrounded by a kind of baleful lumination or nimbus --hag being the popular name of that peculiar electrical light sometimes observed in the hair. At one time hag was not a word of reproach: Drayton speaks of a "beautiful hag, all smiles," much as Shakespeare said, "sweet wench." It would not now be proper to call your sweetheart a hag --that compliment is reserved for the use of her grandchildren.

en He's so competitive, he's so tough, and he's so smart. Once he got a chance to play, he performed well, and he had a great career. I don't like the word 'overachiever.' I called him that once, and he said, 'What do you mean by that?' I said, 'What I mean is, I can't give a guy a higher compliment.' Sometimes when you get called that, it's like you don't have any ability, you just play hard. He had ability.

I kept the number and called the (Briggs and Stratton) hot line from home with questions on how to get rid of moles. It was in late May when I called. A few weeks later my wife (Janet) received a call from someone that said we won a free lawn mower. I really didn't know what to think.

en Four years ago I had a stroke, I was declared dead and I'm writing a sequel to my book. It's going to be called "The Fat Lady Sang". I heard the fat lady sing and I saw the white light. I woke up in the hospital, then a month ago I put my foot into cement at the Mann's Chinese Theatre.

en I'm learning that, actually, I should say 'thank you' when people use that word, because it's a compliment. It means I stood up for myself. It just happens that, because I'm a woman, I get called a bitch.

en Finally, I got a call from Joe and he wanted to bring me up. He called me back a second time, and they were the only ones that called. Steeleville came in late, but this was the only option I had.

en Where do babies come from? Don't bother asking adults. They lie like pigs. However, diligent independent research and hours of playground consultation have yielded fruitful, if tentative, results. There are several theories. Near as we can figure out, it has something to do with acting ridiculous in the dark. We believe it is similar to dogs when they act peculiar and ride each other. This is called "making love". Careful study of popular song lyrics, advertising catch-lines, TV sitcoms, movies, and T-Shirt inscriptions offers us significant clues as to its nature. Apparently it makes grown-ups insipid and insane. Some graffiti was once observed that said "sex is good". All available evidence, however, points to the contrary.
