and am seeking a twelve-step program for
off-topic-a-holics.
Here's something that's always made me curious...
I always laugh at terms we come up with by adding '-aholic' to the end of it...
like workaholic, chocoholic, sexoholic, whatever-a-holic... Is there such a
thing as 'workahol' or 'offtopicahol' that we get addicted to using?
Of course, calling someone a 'work-ic' or 'sex-ic' doesn't sound right (and
'off-topic-ic' is really unwieldy) but the "-aholic" suffix has always struck
me as funny...
Talk about an off-topic post! :-)
