Tom WaitsIโve always been a word guy, I like weird words and I like American slang and all that and words that are no longer being usedโฆ I like to drag them out of the box and wave them aroundโฆ this is an interesting one, itโs amazing how in addition to punctuation just a little pause in the wrong place can just completely transform the meaning of something.
