Thread Name: BS: Definition of 'square' !
Subject: RE: Definition of 'square' !
Thanks, Guest.

I appreciate the compliment and also appreciate your
"Guide to Key Combinations".

That info is way cool, square business *. Though cutting, pasting, or copying the old fashioned, manual way is only quicker if you keep on hunting like I was doing instead of scanning the URL {or what ever that action is called}, then right clicking, and then
-glory be! -those features will come up.

A comcast serviceman shared that info with me when he came to check out why my broadband connection would periodically bump me off the Internet

After the 7 service call, hopefully I won't see that dreaded red x
"a local cable is disconnected" message again.

I still don't have the cut, copy, and paste icons.

But hey, you blog with the icons you have, not the icons you wish you had.

;o)

*"Square business" was a common colloquial response way back when among folks in my 'hood and elsewhere. I think this was in the 1990s, or maybe it was the earlier 2000s.

"Square business" means "really and truly". It was used hen a person said something and wanted to emphasize that she or he wasn't shuckin or jivin, but was being telling the truth or being 'on the up & up".

I think this phrase comes from "being on the square" or some other folk saying like that which means being solid and dependable.

Another positive use of the word "square" is "square meal".

Unfortunately, too many square meals make a person well rounded.
