Micks' Musings

Acronym Slang is an alternative to Rhyming Slang. What is a Washington? A Diet Coke. i.e. Washington D.C. Another example is Wigwam, Toilet paper = TP, Teepee is another word for WigWam. Rhyming Slang can be very obscure and hard to understand. Acronym Slang has the potential to be even more complex! Any more examples?

Yesterday the weather in Google Now was 35 degrees C and Light Snow was predicted. A few days before it said it was 30 degrees C and predicted Freezing Fog! It was back to reality today - 40 degrees C and Partly Cloudy however it now says 29 C and Light snow again! For the Celcius impared 35 C is 98.5 F. There is not  much chance of snow when the outside temperature is nearly 100! I have no idea if this was a widespread problem or if it was just on my phone! It may be an unusual combination of the Google app (formerly Google Now) and Android 4.3 (Jelly Bean).
