In conversation, oftentimes one realizes something so profoundly simple, that hasn't been realized before, that the main thought through someone's head is: DUH!
My friend Joe (not the one pictured in my first blog, I''ll see what photo I can dig up of him) and I call this a penetrating glimpse into the obvious. I had one of these today, when I realized that the word "scat," meaning offal, poo, or other *dirty* words, came from the larger word "scatalogical."
Not a profound revelation, I know, but I had never really made the connection, or even given it much thought, in the past.
Joe's penetrating glimpse into the obvious was that pickles are pickled cucumbers.
