What's The Latest On Roundup Herbicide?

"gawd" is a dialectical pronounciation of the word "God", which is often used as an expletive to indicate an emotional response ranging anywhere from awe to disgust. In this specific case, its intent was to indicate incredulity. Oh, so in other words, you had nothing to add or debate, so you used some silly words. I see. "whoosh" (note correct spelling) is an onomatopoeic word. In this case, it is being used to suggest the sound of a rushing passage of air as though something went whisking over your head. HTH. HAND. Yeah, over my head. More like, out of the radar of the living. |
