Yet Another Bikeshed

Fix vs Repair

There are two words which get used interchangibly, repair and fix. I have been thinking about this lately. The definitions are not so interchangible though. One definition guarrentees an outcome and the other definition is more about making wrong and broken things to be not wrong and working again.

The definitions can get even more refined than this. For instance, some repairs are to make things that do wrong things stop doing wrong things. So the repair would be to break something. It has to be really wrong though -- for the definition to work.

Friend, foe, family, political action group, messengers from god -- whoever you are today, how about a day (or more even) of repair for somebody who needs it.

Spooginary Position

Spooginary Position is when you just deal with the way other people make money without having an opinion on it.

The original context for this word is from restaurant culture. Spooge is the name for the bloated nasty soapy-water soaken pieces of food and other restaurant ingredients that can be seen after the restaurant closes.
