Tjos weel keep on turnin'

[sigma7]

My new favorite phrase? "Tjos weel." It is not:

--Swedish for "steering wheel"
--cheese
--the new Danish prime minister

...but, rather, what occurs when you mean to type "this week" and your right hand is misplaced on the keyboard. And when you have lousy (no?) copy editors.

And it's happened before.

All hail Tjos Weel.

I took a semester (of around 12) off from our student newspaper while my roommate was the editor-in-chief. Drove to Ohio. Got home one morning at 4 and he was still awake, still dealing with the fallout after the paper used the phrase "colored people" in a headline. That, I think, is the worst thing that ever happened at any of my publications.

We had a great conversation, though.

Him: "You...aren't writing for the paper any more are you?"
Me: "No."
Him: "Where you been?"
Me: "Ohio."
Him: "Since...."
Me: "Last week."

Things got better from that point.
