In My Onion

     "In my opinion, In My Onion is a good name for a blog."  This is how I ended my first post, which got me thinking about the evolution of our language, or maybe more accurately: American slang.       I'm the proud father of a very cool teenager, so as I typed that sentence in post number one, I was thinking of how she and her classmates might phrase the same opinion.

And I'll say, for the most part, I've held to within those margins. Yet there have been times when
