J

Jailousy is to Lucifer what aspiritions are to the apparition Michael. Not only do no words between words appear when jammed in jailousy, even printed words refuse to congeal with this misplaced zeal. Non sensed chapters fly by but the clock has not moved. Nonsense, another guy? Rye cut with rye, and real men don’t cry but this clock will not move. Jailousy brings with it only two weighted letters as you wait and wait -- NV – and your pen runs inkless locked in this pen. Like the jalopy you are j’lousy immured in your self-cemented vault, all because “it was her fault…”

The jamello/a vs the gemeglio/a debate gives stark insight into the conflict at the base of all things. A "gemello/a" is a twin in Italian. "Jamella" is slang for the cooler of the two, “the jams”, whereas "gemeglio/a" is slang for the hotter of the two, “gem” + “meglio” (“better” in Italian). Though Italian slang clearly favors the better looking of the two, the argument is still up for debate in the rest of the modern world. “Twin” comes the Proto-Indo-European root dwo like nearly every other word for “two”. However, couldn’t one argue that the English “twin” encompasses the jamello/a vs gemeglio debate all in one word: t’win, to win? Which one will it be, nature or nurture? The exception to this rule is the sibling loving gaymello/a who, though technically both incestual and homosexual, is considered (rather jealously) by all as simply narcissistic.

Just deserves a third meaning as a combination of its first two meanings (it should go without saying that a sum of all meanings of any word is also always valid). "Yeah, you're right Susan I know I know, unlike all the other schleps this one is a just, upright, law abiding guy, yet he's just...y'know he's just..." lacking that je ne sais quoi as just just people often are. "Aw give 'em a try Sally, you never know, he might just justify you with a juicy jussive jut or two yet."
