I actually thought about this all/most day: "Enjoy" - enjoyment - I don't get it.
Let's start by the bottom line: I'm a prole, don't have time for lingering. I went to work, did it, and moved on.

I'm not a car facier, either: It needed to get me to work and where I needed to be. When it wore out, it was disposable and I'd get another.

When somebody tells me to ENJOY my meal, well, I needed to get to work or something.


And as for travelling: I distinctly dislike enjoying the trip. I want to get there/wherever and then wonder WHY.

If I'm watching "Black Swan" and I get the damned movie, am I really ENJOYING it?!1


I think you get my drift.

3. Allow me to expand. Or pass gas.
Is it just Europeans or South Americans or East Asians who can ENJOY the pleasures?!1


The Brits are just dirty. (I've read those boarding college books.)


The Romantics/Latins, o.k.

What was that movie, The Last Emperor, where the young empress was fed coke and was physically pleasured by her servants?!1 Or, what about the so-called Duchess of Windsor, who, according to the National Enquirer, learned physical tricks o'th'trade off of her hubby's stint and then the "romantic"/Nazi king just luerved her?!1

But I drift.

4. I like to tell trolls: welcome to DU, enjoy your stay.

in my mind, I always think: enjoy the pizza.

kind of an ironic sort of word, I think.
