Everyone is talking about whether or not Sarah Palin was properly vetted. I asked my mom if that meant they checked to see if she had her rabies shots yet. Or at least distemper. No one wants a rabid, bad-tempered vice president. Or more accurately, another rabid, bad-tempered vice president.
But my mom said, no. "Vet" is the new cool word for checking something out. I don't remember it being used much in previous elections. I like it a lot!! I vet new people all the time. I even vet veterinarians and when my mom takes me to the VA Hospital, I vet veterans.
I see many new uses for the word "vet." Here are some ideas:
I can now ask people to stop vetting my chest. "Hey, my eyes are up here, buddy!"
However, I have no problem vetting Matthew McConaughey's abs.
I can go to DSW Shoe Warehouse and vet the new line of fall boots.
I dream of vetting Kilimanjaro someday and going to Antartica to vet the penguins.
Vet is hep, it's phat, it's groove-tron. And I'm all over it.
