Shorthand is a disease. It’s an incurable, horrific disease instilled into the minds of hopeless romantics. Report on this, report on that. Use shorthand to kill the writer, to mush the minds of innocents.
People use shorthand all the time on the internet, but really it’s kind of annoying. I’ve seen people make acronyms for the most ridiculous things! Like, I think “IMHO” means “In my honest opinion”. Really? You need an acronym for that?
Whenever i see a shorthand,
i think of the butler from Scary Movie.
His creepy, crusty hand
always trying to help others with it.
However, who would want to touch something horrid like that?
Whenever i see a shorthand, i’ll always think about that butler.
I have no idea what this word even means! I mean seriously… What is it? Someone with short hands? Someone who is short-handed? Can you be short-handed? Some kind of Indian name? The one with short hands as opposed to Who Dances With The Wolf?
Before Sherlock died, the two flatmates rarely touched. John was withdrawn and still used to the homophobic atmosphere of the military. Sherlock was just as withdrawn, more concerned with clues and details than with people, even those most prominent in his life. Why put forth the effort?
After Sherlock died, that all changed. Small touches were exchanged between the two, a shorthand system of communication which they learned instinctively as they went along. A punch to the cheek was easy; “You’re an ass.” A gentle palm on the knee; “I’m sorry, forgive me, I need you.”
Time progressed, and the language between them grew as more vocabulary was added. A tug on the elbow; “Don’t leave me.” A quick squeeze of the thumb; “I’ll be back.” A chin on the shoulder; “Keep watch over me.” An arm around the waist; “I will, now and forever.” A gentle grip at a tense shoulder; “Ignore him, he means you harm, I’m with you.” A subtle lean into a flank; “Thank you for your company.” A rub copied after a self-inflicted one; “Are you in pain?” A thumb across the ribs; “You need to eat more.”
Time marched on, and while old phrases rarely went out of usage, the overall nature of the language began to change. An inhale against a neck; “You’re mine and no one else’s.” A kiss behind the ear; “I missed you.” Even simpler phrases gained their own codes- a nuzzle under a jawbone became “Good morning,” and a hug around a thigh turned into “I love you.” If the time-tested couple seemed unusually silent to onlookers, it would only be because they were not privy to the unspoken language shared between them.
If you are shorthand I think it means you aren’t getting or you didn’t get the full package. You didn’t get all of it. Like if everyone else got 5 jelly beans and you only got three then you would get shorthanded.
one of apples hands is shorter than the other. She doesnt know what to do because she cant really grip her really expensive bigmac from McDonalds. It makes her really sad because she sees all of her other friends with big macs smiling very happily.
you left me shorthanded. I didn’t know what to do or what to say. i couldn’t figure out how i felt or what i wanted. Why was everything so unclear? so undefined and so wishy washy
I very seldomly use shorthands, especially in circumstances where most of my peers would have used words like ‘u’ for ‘you’ or suchlike. I just like to spell the words out in its complete and nice entirety. Of course one is allowed certain leeway when one is taking notes in class, for example, but my writing is so much more legible than most.
He loved to write shorthand. And I never could understand it. Between trying to decipher that, and my mounds of paperwork, my days flew by; one after the other until they blended together in my mind. What was it he use to say those days past?
