Stardate: Thursday, February 07, 2002 Every once in a while I find myself drawn to certain programs in an effort to check in on society in general. Today I bumped into The Ricki Lake Show. What caught my ear more than anything else was the use of "Get My ______ On." I always used to hear "Get My Groove On," but I never heard that you could substitute other words in place of "groove." As far as ease of speech is concerned, isn't it faster to say "I was trying to sleep" vs. "I was trying to get my sleep on?" I mean, near as I can tell, economy of words is usually a reason behind slang, so I just don't get it.
