Indeed. And look how much I'm using AIM instead of the forum now.

And the truth comes out. I'm boring!

*wanders off to find something interesting to talk about*

Do a report on the etomology of the phrase "Head over heels." I wanna know why it's supposed to be an abnormal state.

I've never understood that expression.

I've never understood that expression.

It really makes no sense. My head is always located above my heels. If it wasn't, the blood would rush to my brain.

I guess it isn't meant to be logical since it's associated with being in love, which isn't logical. It just is what it is.

The credit goes to Marion Barry. I don't find it as amusing as I used to. I've been using it as a sig on forums for many years now. Either that or the Ronald Regan quote.

Regan quote?

Ah, the joys of the internet - someone else with way too much time on their hands can always be counted on for an answer

Meaning - Excited, and/or turning cartwheels to demonstrate one's excitement.

Origin - Many people would recognise that meaning. What most wouldn't do is take time to consider that it makes no literal sense - after all head over heels is the normal posture. A version of the phrase originated in the 14th century as 'heels over head', which is really what we mean when we use it. The phrase evolved into head over heels much later as it was used in everyday speech without a great deal of thought.

Wow, deep.

Wow, deep.

Oh, shut up. I'm not a poet.
