How do you describe "indescribable"?



In response to last week’s question, "How do you describe "indescribable"?", my birthday bud Jon observed, " Incorrectly, I bet. "

My Parrothead friend Sam wrote, "Well, it's like, uh. It's a thing..." to which my sailing friend John followed, "I’m working HARD at this … !!"   And my friend Swany theorized, “indescribable is something that is."

While my dog rescue friend Kate and friend Royce  responded, "indescribably," my Dish friend John summarized it as "                   ."

My wise friend Richard challenged, "Indescribable is the result of a limited vocabulary."

To this, my dad's beach buddy Bob declared, "Love at first sight."  Then my writing and sailing friend Rich described it  "usually with a big ole ear to ear grin."  And my cousin's brother Jack shared, In describing something indescribable, the many sounds, that one hears at a zoo or a gym, can be useful when someone has a limited supply of words. The popular standbys, weee, ahhh, oooo, huhhh  and my favourites mmmm and hmmm."

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, wine in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO what a ride!"
