I rode the elevator today at work and it acted like it didn't want to go up to the top floor. Another man in the car with me said, "I think it's out of whack."
What is whack? Why do elevators need whack in the first place? Is there a whack tank somewhere on the elevator that's registering "E" for empty? Where do we buy more whack when something runs out of it? The whacky store? A whackery? A whack-a-mart? I've seen none of these places in my lifetime.
If something is working really well, why don't we say it's full of whack? Could a well-tuned car be described as whackful?
Was Lizzie Borden's parents out of whack? Is that why she gave them 40 and 41?
Is a wacko someone who has too much whack? Or is that someone who is wacky? Or is it both?
Instead of saying something is out of whack, can we say it's "sans-whack"? Or that its "whack's waned"?
If you see a very efficient and productive girl, would you tell her she has a nice whack?
Ok I'm done.
