Pray tell, Amemeba, what contemplative reveries could be more bovine than musing on something which is utterly empty-headed?Ah Ha! The Wordminstrel speaks of cows of a different kine!
Cows and adolescents and beat poets don't speak in "words" they simply "Moo". Mooing, you see, serves them well in-as-much-as they have no need for sapient conversation. Their only need is to belong to the herd, or the coming generation, or the cognoscenti. A meaningless moo, properly mooed, will garner them membership in the desired in-group and the hip-group will answer back "Right-on", or "Cool" or "I herd that".
But in great contrast, Wordminstrel, a few some of us aspire towards a much higher goal, namely, towards a more accurate understanding of the fundamental nature of words and their meanings. Through this understanding we hope to bring peace to all mankine. (or something like that.)
Wanna join our happy group? Wanna stop being a word nerd who uses words like a knee-jerk robot that knows not well what the words mean?
If you prove to have ears, Wordminstrel, I will be happy to share some of our dark word secrets.
