Don't ask me where the subject came from. I found myself sort of stuck for something that didn't reek of "Just another day in front of my computer," and "Persnickety codswallop" just sort of popped out.
I recall, back maybe a decade ago (maybe more), someone came up with a meme that consisted of typing two obscure words into Google's search engine in an attempt to find zero pages containing said two words. As the Web expanded, the task became more difficult.
Just now, on a whim, I Googled the subject and came up with not one, but two hits on Google (albeit both for the same domain).
Why "persnickety"?
Attention to detail. It seems to be the coin of the realm these days, especially when so many people out there are bankrupt in this department.
"Codswallop"?
Between us, I think it's a hoot of a word. The fact it means "nonsense" is icing on the cake.
Why the two together? Beat me eight ways from Omaha.
Lots of work. Mostly outgoing and being done, today.
I expect more of the same tomorrow.
Cheers...
