Verbal shorthand. It’s efficient… until you start using “How are you” in place of “Hey.”
Similar problems in our current society comes from using “@#$%” (you know what I mean) in place of any random noun or adjective (depending on what dirty word you just thought of)
Or in marriage, when you become careless with your thought and time, and “I love you” takes the place of “How was your day” or “Hey” or “Have a great day at work.” or “How did I stomp on your feelings without realizing?”
Verbal shorthand. Like most things, it’s a strength and a weakness.
I looked at some artisanal soap at an artist market here around last Christmas.

I just know that someday, Chick-Fil-A’s board of directors will be so far removed from the originator’s intent that they won’t be able to understand that not being able to get their sandwiches on Sunday actually makes them more desirable every…other…day.
And on that day, they will open on Sundays, and their inevitable slide into oblivion will begin.
And the board of directors will all still get their bonuses.
I like today’s cartoon.
Personally, I enjoy writing cartoons where people contradict their own judgement calls.
Which means I probably do it all the time without noticing.
Sorry about the title, there- I’m not usually one for spelling words with initial Ks, and I don’t think I’ve ever eaten at the Kozy Korner Diner, nor taken my clothes to Krosstown Kleaners (That one’s real. Baffles me.) But if you spell it ‘Canine Cartoons’, you lose the classic Warner Bros/Disney animation feel to it.
