ASLT....a new low in language desolation
A S L T
/əˈsɔlt/
(assault)
The USA's newest acronym
reveals just how far
we have fallen in the
last 40 years.
ASLT what is it?
Well ASLT is what ASAP
was 63 years ago.
Back then the US military
informed civilian life
and AS SOON AS POSSIBLE
was coined as a two syllable
'A-sap' (saving four syllables).
Now I hear educated/cultured
individuals, the elderly,
people who would never
dream of saying 'ain't,'
uttering this patently
useless expression.
Heck, they aren't even
using the acronym...
I feel guilty for providing space
and time to ASLT for in a
certain sense just the
knowledge of ASLT
might unintentionally
aid and abet
the enemy.
I heard myself
and cringed when
I said it two days ago.
Yup, I said...
(drum roll please!)
AND
STUFF
LIKE
THAT
Sincerely yours in Jesus through Mary,

See you on the High Ground!
