Meanings
(nebby is evidently a Pittsburgh expression,
a compressing of neighborly and nosey)
definition of a cow: trying to be a horse
of a dog: doesn’t understand the diplomacy of cats
of a cat: one who perceives dogs as pointless
definition of a child: not a miniature adult
of a parent: nervous the length of child-life
a soldier: serving with all there is
definition of democracy: each one matters
of an earth: that without which we do not live
of God: maker; providentially nebby

This is excellent. Great definitions. Makes me think, to define one being is not to simple. There are layers and things beyond what is obvious. Love the sentence ” that without we do not live of God.”

Thanks for this response. It’s an impossibility, I imagine, to define one thing one way. You’re so right: there are layers. So if we squush (squoosh?) together meanings, then we might have something.
