Oldspaper and Olds defined
Wednesday, November 2nd, 2005Since I’m using the terms ‘oldspaper’ and ‘olds’ in my blog, I better provide their definitions:
Oldspaper: Outdated unread newspaper, accumulated due to lack of time to read, which will eventually be read.
Olds: News found in oldspapers.
I don’t read newspapers everyday. In fact, I often read newspapers which are weeks and months old.
With so many interesting blogs to read and so little time, I find myself reading more oldspapers than newspapers.
Instead of buying newspapers and piling them up to become oldspapers, perhaps I should just help a nice neighbour collect his unwanted newspapers for ‘recycling’.
If you see some guy fervently reading his papers at a cafe and you spotted a familar front page you read months back, don’t worry, you did not travel back in time; You just found someone reading oldspaper.
And that guy could turn out to be me ![]()
