Waxing nostalgic, Waxing poetic, waxing etc.

This term is getting used a lot, especially in the media. I saw somebody start a thread with it the other day about waxing nostalgic. I'm scratching my head because the only thing I think when I hear waxing is "waxing that arse" or "wax on, wax off". So I had to look up the origin of that term:



Sorry about your lack of vocabulary.

But while we are on the subject, could we agree to ban the recently coined (that means invented or devised, OP) "re-imagined". It seems like half the commercials on tv are about products or services that at one time must have been imaginary.

I knew what waxing means in this regard. So can I pretty please still use words you don't understand or should I just speak baw in your presence.

"Chef-Inspired"

Oh, wow, you were thinking about a chef when you made it? That's cool, I think about Emeril Legasse sometimes when I'm boiling hot dogs.
