I totally forgot to write about this when it happened, and although I was so excited about it I should have gotten on the computer right away, life gets busy, and so I am commenting about it now. I also feel compelled to bring this up because an acronym like this should not go ignored!
A week (or 2 ago?) the Westminster Kennel Club held a dog show. I am sure there are dog shows going on all over the country all the time, this one just happened to be broadcasted, and a few friends and I happened to watch it. I'm not sure how we we got sucked into this magical event, but we were glued!
Through all the categories, and breeds, and owners that look suspiciously like their pets, it was a competitive event. The announcers somehow made it sound exciting and by the end we were all taking the judging, grooming, and lightly brisky bouncing jogging by the owners very seriously. Sure brisky can be a word.
Suddenly between the salmon being grilled and wine being poured the announcer's voice stood out describing the next category to come up. ASCOB. Standing for Any Solid Color Other than Black. ASCOB. ASCOB. I am sorry, but wow. As the past few days went on I found this acronym could be used to describe lot's of things. It makes me wonder why we don't use more acronyms in our every day language. I'm not including texting and messaging, but everyday things. Like grocery shopping.
I don't have much more to say about this, except that I appreciate the humorous accuracy of Best In Show.
