Pronunciation: pair-re-GRETTER

Sentence: Mad Shirley just seemed to suck at life. Talked into refinancing her adobe abode by a mortgage huckster, she became an involuntary terrestrial- an itinerant grinch dwelling in her wagonocturne and taking rapid sponge baths in fast-food joints. A 21st century PEREGRETTER, Shirley and her loyal feline sidekick knew every bleak parking lot and all-nite diner where a rolling stone might catch a few furtive winks before being hustled on by the local brain police. Still, life was good and she was thankful for the warm rising of the sun and the maintenance of the public parks. Mad Shirley was grateful when Mister America walked on by...without tapping on her windshield. A home on four rubber donuts was still a home. As the last snowflakes of winter fluttered down, she stroked her cat and vowed to make life better...

Etymology: PEREgrine+reGRETTER=PEREGRETTER........PEREGRINE:having a tendency to wander;Middle French peregrin, from Medieval Latin peregrinus, from Latin, foreign .....REGRET:to mourn the loss or death of,to miss very much,to be very sorry for;Middle English regretten, from Anglo-French regreter, from re- + -greter (perhaps of Germanic origin; akin to Old Norse grāta to weep)

The mighty Susquehanna was frightening-a mighty river, not an insipid stream, manageable and tame. The multitudes had followed it's course...to freedom and adventure. And now it carried it's burden of ice and sorrow down to the Chesapeake Bay- unstoppable and unknowable forever. - metrohumanx, 2009-02-17: 20:33:00
