They are just being kind to people like me who aren't much of there guys. It kinda takes a little of the pressure off, and that's a relief. I guess also I'm a little hide bound and much the traditionalist. After all, the old folks talk about the "here and now", not the "there and now", although there is an insidious movement to get people to adopt the "there and then" - but it's a trap.

There and then, here and now. Where and when? I dunno.

You can taste a subtle difference in the words:

When people are feeling sorry for you they say: "There, there now"

But when people are cheering your greatness they say: "Here, here".

If you name a dog, Here, you save time and energy. Did you know that?

I did not know that. I am much more of a man now that I do!

And I am proud of you, man!
