Pronunciation: roam ee oh no and jool ee yet

Sentence: After 55 years of bledded wiss, George and Martha had a romeohnoandjuliet kind of agreement. He had many flaws and she overlooked them. If his roving eye followed a comely wench, Martha would whisper sweet nothings in his ear. Endearingly poignant phrases like, "It is apparently time to watch "Fatal Attraction" again, my dear, since you have forgotten it's cinematic lesson." Or "You have a wandering eye...don't make me send out the other one on the Search Party." George had learned a long time ago to listen to Martha's admonitions of affection. He may be the Head of the household, but she was the Neck, who could turn the head in any direction she wanted!

Etymology: Romeo & Juliet (ardent lovers in a Shakespeare story) & Oh No (regrettable reaction; something gone wrong)

Pronunciation: mah thoo zeh lah vers

Sentence: Searching through my sketchy knowledge of history, looking for the couple who were together the longest, here is what I found. According to the King James version of Genesis 5:25-27, "And Methuselah lived an hundred eighty and seven years, and begat Lamech. And Methuselah lived after he begat Lamech seven hundred eighty and two years, and begat sons and daughters: And all the days of Methuselah were nine hundred sixty and nine years: and he died." Wish it said something about his wife. If his wife was still giving him children when he was 782 years old, theirs was an enduring passion and love!!! Perhaps, they held the record for the longest marriage on earth. In some religions, marriage vows are taken saying "Till death do us part." There is at least one religion, where the marriage vows say "For all time and eternity." Perhaps Noah and his wife, after hundreds of years together on earth, are still together! Methuselah has become an eponym for any person who lives an extra-ordinarily long time. Ergo: Methuselovers would be a couple that has been together a long time, so long they might even be together after death, and perhaps as Johnny Mathis sang "until the twelfth of never."

Etymology: A blending of the eponym methuselah and lovers.

COMMENTS:

Sweet Valentine's Day to all. Here's the song lyrics referred to above. You ask how much I need you, must I explain? I need you, oh my darling, like roses need rain. You ask how long I'll love you; I'll tell you true: Until the twelfth of never, I'll still be loving you. Hold me close, never let me go. Hold me close, melt my heart like April snow. I'll love you till the bluebells forget to bloom; I'll love you till the clover has lost its perfume. I'll love you till the poets run out of rhyme, Until the twelfth of never and that's a long, long time. Hold me close, never let me go. Hold me close, melt my heart like April snow. I'll love you till the bluebells forget to bloom; I'll love you till the clover has lost its perfume. I'll love you till the poets run out of rhyme, Until the twelfth of never and that's a long, long time. Until the twelfth of never and that's a long, long time. - silveryaspen, 2009-02-13: 01:14:00
