+ _____bye!

Hi there.

I stumbled across this epiphany when walking down the road at midnight with my mate. I hope you have all noticed the subtle and yet rapid disappearance of the word 'good'. It's gone! Like a discontinued product in Safeway (or now Woolworths *shudder* for all you other bogan states), it's there on the Monday, and then bang, comes Tuesday, and overnight, they're gone in a blink of an eye. Thoughroughly depressing? Yes.

Where did it go you ask. It simply evaporated, osmosed into another realm of reality.
Instead of saying "good morning", we simply say "morning" to our fellow neighbour. The "good night" has again been reduced to the time of day "night", or "nighty nite". How degrading. "Good bye" has been rendered to simply "bye", or x2 - "byebye". One that emphasizes the laziness of Australians and simultaneously making the obvious time of day known, "good day", has been cut to "gday". Do we feel that the humble 'good' is no longer worthy of our vocal chords metabolic energy? I am rather saddened by its vacancy and I know that another word simply cannot fill the void.
Have an "excellent day now", "epic morning", "brilliant evening". I don't know about you, but it just doesn't maintain the simple ring that the double o's, sandwiched by a hooked g and a blunt d does. *sigh* If you disagree with me, you're wrong, and you don't deserve to utilise such a humble word.

So this is really a call of desperation to revive the good in life. And not in a silly "let's better the human condition" way.

Stay Tuned.
