THE "UN" WORD

Am I Un-Glam?

Do you know friends who are constantly not updated about current affairs and are always backdated? Unfortunately, yes, amongst my motley crew of friends, I do have quite a number of them and amongst them, one who is always mentioned in my blog is SW.

SW is one of those unfortunate ones, always teased for being backdated and there were times, SW was also known as BDB (BACKDATED BITCH). We would be talking about things and suddenly; SW will bring up a subject that could be a few months old. The usual stares and disbelieve that we always give to SW was never kind, nor even courteous; it was more like “you deserve it”.

Most of the times, we will just have to remind poor ole SW of the consequences of bringing up issues that are backdated and many of the times; SW will insist that these are current.

Not wanting to argue further, we will just roll our eyes and gaze at poor SW and really at times wonder if SW is living in the present or the past tense.
But, I guess that is how SW operates, hence, many a times, we just accept that this is part and parcel of SW, no matter how SW is, we do our best to understand him.

So, you think we are cruel? No, on the contrary, SW is also the butt of jokes by his office colleagues. And, to think we have been kind enough to label SW BDB, his colleagues are more gruesome. He has been officially known as “UNGLAM” from the word unglamorous.

How this happen, well it all started innocently with the movie “JUST FOLLOW LAW” and one the colleagues mentioned to SW whether SW had watched the movie, and SW like a lamb led to be slaughtered, answered “No”.

(But, before that, SW did teach this colleague of his what and how to use the word “UNGLAM” and now, it’s been used to directly fire against him).

Not contended with just mentioning it, this bitchy colleague actually drives deeper its meaning upon SW, deeper even than the SMART tunnel which leaves our dear SW bruised even more…
