Every person suffering under the Trump régime in the USA is in danger of becoming an agelast, for there is truly little to smile about and it’s only going to get worse. Even Greenland Sharks wouldn’t want to live for 400 years under that senile despot.

Christine said...

Fascinating -400 years! That's a tough new word

Sandra Cox said...

David, The goings on here often wipe the smile off my face. As always, clever word usage. Have a grand day.

Sandra Cox said...

Christine, Isn't that something? And some of them live to be 500.

Grumpy Cat (Tard is supposedly his name I think), and the talking birds made me smile. Thank you so much for this. :)

Interesting tidbits you come up with.

Birgit said...

Ive met a few agelast people and I prefer never to meet them again. Trump is one of them as well as his minions. I knew sharks lived long, but not that long. I hope the shark doesn't end up on sone Japanese dinner plate

Jeanie said...

Definitely a new word to me -- and i love the graphic!

Sandra Cox said...

I hear ya on agelast people, Birgit. Let's hope those sharks just keep swimming along. I would love to know why they live so long. Hmm, may have to do some research.

Sandra Cox said...

My pleasure entirely, Linda, and thank YOU for your uplifting memes.

Andrew said...

Can someone be agelast inclined and not totally agelast? I've known a few.
400 years old? What would a human look like at 400 years old?

Sandra Cox said...

Hi Jeanie, New word for me too. Glad you liked the graphic:)

Sandra Cox said...

It is for sure, Jan.

Sandra Cox said...

Sending you hugs, JP:)

Sandra Cox said...

Jacqui, Thankee:) Hope you enjoy.

Sandra Cox said...

Andrew, makes sense to me.
What a human would look like at 400, boggles the mind doesn't it? The sharks looked old and I've never noticed fish before that looked old, though if they're 400 they're entitled, hey.
