yaff [yaf] verb (used without object), Scot. and North England
1. to bark; yelp.
I've heard Scottish Terriers and English Bulldogs bark and they don't sound like that...then again, maybe they picked up a Texas accent from living here.

Faulty Memory
Einstein could never remember his phone number.
“Why should I bother,” he said, “when I can look it up?”

You're Only Lonely - J.D. Souther
A "bump" from 10/2008
I wish they had a better version; there was one of Souther singing this in concert, but embedding was disabled.
One of my favorite songs of all time. It's very moving.
UPDATE:
I was listening to online classic rock radio last night and heard a song by a group called Buckingham Nicks; the station showed the album cover the song was from and it was unmistakably Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham, but I didn't remember the group. So, I read a little about them and since a friend of mine and I were discussing music the other day in another post and she mentioned Nicks, I did some more reading about her and Buckingham's breakup while with Fleetwood Mac. I've always liked her, thought her talented and beautiful, but I did not know the fairly extensive list of rock stars she dated after splitting with Buckingham.
One of the men she dated was Souther and I got to thinking about this song and came in to see if I had posted it before and saw I had. (six years ago, so no wonder I didn't remember- I have trouble these days remembering the last time I ate.) The YouTube account that had posted it had been suspended and the song deleted, so I found this version and decided to "bump" the old post.
I also went on to read more about Souther and this song and was amazed at the list of people who contributed to it .

foremost
foremost [fawr-mohst, -muh st, fohr-]
adjective, adverb
1. first in place, order, rank, etc.
Not a new word to me but I always thought it odd that the phrase "first and foremost" is often used. It just seems redundant...and I'm not the only one who thinks so: Common Redundancies (F-O). No, I'm not the only one. (see what I did there? did ya?)
I do know this blog isn't foremost in any category, not even for Cast Away Crossroads.
(but, like Avis, we're #2!. Some people think this blog is #2 -ahem-)
