So, for "Talk like a Grizzled Prospector Day", while, at least so far, there are not any free donuts available for you to "discover", I did find a link online for how you can talk like a grizzled prospector! Here are a few prospector-type words and their definitions . . . and you'll find the complete list at this link.
Prospector Talk for Beginners
Get yerself ready for the big day by pickin' up some genuine Prospector Talk.
- Hornswaggler - A dirty, thieving swindler.
- Bushwhacker - One of the roughest, toughest outlaws around who just waits fer ya to pass by so's they can jump on ya
- Dadgum - What you say when you're mighty annoyed at sumphtin or someone. Makes a right nice change from Dagnabbit and Goldurn.
- Confounded - What ya say when things just don't make no sense. Also comes in handy when you stub your toe.
- Varmint - a small animal or a person you don't care for very much.
- Sidewinder - The kind of low down snake that will come on all nice like just so's he can jump your claim.
The second, "silly holiday" for today is, "Belly Laugh Day" . . . which, if your grandchildren are trying to talk like a grizzled prospector, you are sure to experience a good belly laugh or two . . . so it made sense to share them both with you!
My grandsons - all three of them, fully understand what it means to have a good, belly laugh! This, "holiday" is described as:
Belly Laugh Day is a day for having a good chuckle at anything at all. Did you know laughter has been know to causes the tissue lining our blood vessels to expand increase blood flow? This in turn makes you feel more positive, boosts your immune systems and generally just makes us feel happier! Even just looking forward to something in advance has similar positive effects as the act itself! It reduces stress and increases chemicals which help relaxation. Let’s get people laughing anywhere and everywhere!And, if you have your grandchildren talking like grizzled prospectors, you are sure to get people around you laughing . . . and improving their health!
So, enjoy the day and a good belly laugh . . . or two!
