The first thing that comes to mind when I see or hear the word "bulk" are the set of words that rhyme with "bulk" such as "hulk" and "sulk". The English language is fascinating to me sometimes. So is the human brain, especially in those circumstances when saying a word over and over again forces it to lose meaning. When we start to really analyze the words we use they take on a completely different meaning. Perhaps I'm spewing nonsense, and perhaps this is an attempt to wax poetical, but the words our brain chooses to use at a moments notice is so interesting to me. As for example, I used the word "set" in the first sentence of this paragraph. Lately I've been studying for my math midterm tomorrow, so it's natural that some math language creeps into my vocabulary. (On a side note, I think set theory is fascinating as well.)
Five minutes goes by so fast I'm afraid I won't get to wrap up my thoughts in time!

ReplyDeleteDude. I used to do that for fun when I was a child.
