De le nom de noir blog

I've been learning some French lately, but that's not why A+ and I decided to name our blog interjanetaryluv. Actually, none of those words are French or French translations.

"luv" is a 20th c. middle-class single-working mother corruption of the English word "love," which means according to the OED "not hate" and is nearly all you need to function in the world. Love is [also] a verb, but we don't have to go into vague acts of sacrifice or pledges of fidelity. For now, think of "luv" in terms of nounage or interjections: all those notes your mom scribbled onto sack lunches, graffiti-shorthand when the spray paint can began to run dry, thumbed to fill the last three characters of a text message.

Luv breaks in when we least expect it and only just.
