The "Over The Moon" Watch
Even 26-year-old rising fashion stars who designed Michelle Obama's inauguration dress punch us in the heart by using "over the moon." Yes, Jason Wu told the New York Times, “I was over the moon. I know I am an unusual choice for a first lady. I didn’t think it was my turn yet.”
When can we throw the phrase "over the moon" over the moon so it can never return. Isn't the moon sick of whores jumping over it? What about "over the dildo"? Or "over the peen"? Or "over the Spaghetti Cat"? Or "over Kristie Alley's bare nalgas"? Anything!

Fine by me--just as long as the phrase "I can't wrap my brain around it" goes with it. AAAUUUGGHHH THAT one makes me want to give them something to wrap their brain around--like a cattle prod.
(p.s. was I the only one that thought Michelle Obama had borrowed the frumpy coat/dress from Queen Elizabeth?)
Disrespecting RENT -- that's going too far.
She is so sexy with the gorgeous dress on her. Is she single now? Her profile was found on the on the wealthy dating club ***wealthymeetup. c om*** for hot singles to hook up for Hot Love and Sexy Dating, "she is so picky about guys!" according to officials of that site, "they have to be fertile douches or she won't date them!"
NALGAS...
omg i cried for laughing so hard...xD

Oh, I don't care if people want to talk about their kids (it doesn't interest me at all, but I'm sure some people feel the same way about my topic choices)...but when they think the occurance of flatulance is noteworthy enough to use as an update on their Facebook, that sort of worries me.

Yes! I feel the same way!
I was born without the baby gene, I guess. Like...am I the only person who doesn't think it's cute to talk about your baby's GAS on FB??
The whole thing annoys me. Find something else to talk about!
That's what scares me the most. I get that people like their kids, but surely they have interests outside of baby farts! I hope??

O camon! It's definitely a part of a parent's life. We gotta talk about that stuff SOMETIMES! What I hate is if I've NEVER mentioned my kid and something comes up and then I DO - and I get the eye-rolls and the sighing - O no! Talk about kids! Here we go! Like I'm supposed to NEVER talk about her cuz she's not cool like Britney Spears.

Det er hvad der sker.
The link I posted is for a book called "Jump Over the Moon," for teachers and librarians about children's lit. Written by one of my former library school professors. She used to have the entire wall outside her office covered in cow-jumping-over-the-moon stuff that students and friends had given her.
The only over-the-moon stuff MP and Aretha's hat endorse. Otherwise, go canoodle.

Yeah, the time I spend on DListed alone would not allow for me to take appropriate care of a child. My pets often have to jump on my lap, roll around, fight, climb walls in order to get my attention! ( a bit of an exaggeration, but..).

You have Kiddie winks I assume? I love other people's children, I just never wanted my own. Spoil them, play with them, then home to mom and dad they go.
*****************************
To be honest, I totally get that. I have one. I could have had more and been a housewife if someone would just pay the bills...alas. But I REALLY need my adult time, either way. Or maybe, my adolescent time;p Or both, really. Hence, my fascination with both DListed and my work, actually.

Yes, this is another dumb saying, but really, why fixate on it? A good 70% of people have a fairly limited vocabulary.

- private jets
I'm pretty much a role model for all peoples of the world.
I don't think i have ever once used the phrase "over the moon" so i propose a boycott on this phrase.

Over the moon
Meaning
Very happy or delighted.
Origin
This phrase has been part of the language for more than a century. It has become more widely used in the past twenty or thirty years, since it was adopted by English football (no, not soccer please - the game is called football) managers when interviewed after 'the boys' managed a victory.
The increased use of televised post-match interviews and hours of studio commentary during the 1970s brought many football managers before the cameras. These days such men are likely to be cultured and erudite Frenchmen or Spaniards. Before that they were usually British ex-footballers who had left schools in the English or Scottish back streets early to play football. It's fair to say that many of them had a poor grasp of the finer points of English grammar.
Two of the best-known English football managers of recent years, who have maintained the English tradition with their engagingly entertaining way of mangling the language, are Ron Atkinson and Terry Venables. The list of quotations from them is long and includes:
"The Spaniards have been reduced to aiming aimless balls into the box." (Atkinson)
"If you can't stand the heat in the dressing room, get out of the kitchen." (Venables)
"If Glenn Hoddle said one word to his team at half time, it was concentration and focus." (Atkinson)
"I felt a lump in my throat as the ball went in." (Venables)
The humorous magazine Private Eye picked up on these and began publishing them in its Colemanballs column. The name was taken from the sports commentator David Coleman, who could give even the managers a run for their money:
"Nottingham have now lost six matches in a row without winning." (Coleman)
I was really Private Eye's lampooning that made this phrase popular. There is an associated phrase, 'sick as a parrot', which was used when 'the boys' lost. This has a much shorter pedigree and it's quite likely that it was invented by a writer at Private Eye rather than on the football pitch. It certainly gained currency because The Eye always printed the two phrases together in their parodies. 'Sick as a parrot' was probably influenced the the famous Monty Python 'Dead Parrot' sketch, which could be quoted verbatim by many in the UK at the time and which remains one of the most popular sketches ever shown on British TV.
over the moonWell, that's the last thirty years. The actual origin is from much earlier and, although not widely used before the 1970s, it would have been familiar to all who grew up in Britain in the 20th century. Why, because it comes from the well-known 16th century nursery rhyme Hey diddle, diddle - originally written as High, diddle, diddle :
Hey diddle diddle, the cat and the fiddle,
The cow jumped over the moon.
The little dog laughed to see such fun
And the dish ran away with the spoon!
The rhyme is quite probably nonsense and has no agreed meaning. The 'over the moon' line did however soon came to be associated with excitement and energy. That's evidenced by one of the earliest citations of the phrase in print - Charles Molloy's The Coquet, or, The English Chevalier, 1718:
"Tis he! I know him now: I shall jump over the Moon for Joy!"
STFU!!!
Over the moon needs to retire already. I'm going to check why that phrase exists and I'll post it on here just to annoy you guys.
STFU!!!
That's the best this dude was able to conjure?
Geez, no wonder the USA is seen as a bunch of uneducated morons by the rest of the world.
Here's just some of the synonyms for "over the moon":
charmed, delighted, deliriously happy, elated, euphoric, happy as a clam, happy as a lark, joyful, jubilant, on cloud nine*, only too happy, overjoyed, rapturous, ravished, thrilled, tickled pink, transported
