"f'real" (for real) Used to hear this contraction a lot. Not so much anymore. Maybe that's because there's just so little belief or sincerity, I don't know. Or maybe there are just no sound words to describe the disbelief or dissatisfaction with the real. Kind of like when "Mark Twain" suddenly becomes "Abandon ship", ... and after that just a mayday, a specialized signal hovering over anonymous cries for help in the darkness. Reality become an excuse for dehumanization.
But we haven't visibly hit bottom yet have we? or have we! I still find it difficult to believe much of what I hear in the media. It's all fog and echoes. "Reality" has become just as fiat as the Fed, the waters shallow as the pond you might have dug in your yard had the savings not recently been depleted by unemployment or a mismanaged portfolio.
I guess it's time to "spell it out" for each other and "get real"!
