#DoYouHaveTheSame #HappyBirthday as #RingoStarr @ringostarrmusic & #MichelleKwan @michellewkwan & the rest of the #July7 #BirthdayCohort ?? on this month's #BonzaBottlerDay | @411Holidays @BirthdayMates #TheFamousPeople @YourTango @MySundayMass
I sometimes get a little 'thrill' from realizing that I have the same birthday as several famous people, and enough other people get that thrill from seeing their birthday-cohort (both the currently-famous & the probably-not-yet famous) that I figure it's worth doing 'one of these entries for every birthday'---maybe focusing on one of these holidays & or event-anniversaries in each entry)?'
Suggestions of ways to celebrate #Bonza #Bottler Days are in a report linked through 'the main words' below; but first I want to understand that word better. And I find that you understand words better when you look at the other words at the bases of the words you're thinking-of ...
A Bonza Bottler Day is celebrated whenever the numbers of the month and -the day are the same (January 1, February 2, March 3, April 4, May 5, June 6, July 7, August 8, September 9, October 10, November 11, December 12)---a #Bodacious Bonza Bottler Day if the year is also the same number (the last two digits of the year, anyway).
The word “Bonza” is Australian slang (meaning Super, Great, Fantastic) built on ancient words that mean ... my source doesn't say, but it does remind me of "Bonsai" (or was that BONZAIIII!)?
"Bottler" is also slang, used for "something Excellent"; probably because it's something 'worth Bottling.'
"Bodacious" (meaning "|Extraordinary, |Impressively Great in Size---|Enormous") is built on either "Bodily, Totally" or is a portmanteau of |Bold and |Audacious. #Bodaciously
Today's Birthday-Cohort
Astrologically, their sign is Cancer ... no matter WHICH stars they were born under: Shelley Duvall, bandleader Doc Severinsen, Jim Gaffigan, figure-skater Michelle Kwan, Richard Starkey (The Beatles' Ringo Starr), Steven Crowder, "the dean of science-fiction writers" Robert A. Heinlein, composer Gustav Mahler, Mo Collins (from MAD TV), comedian Jack Whitehall ... and lots more I don't recognize (maybe you do recognize some ... you can find the date at the birthday-cohort link)
(and--if you or someone you know about has a birthday today
--please mention them (and how you know them or -know
about them) in the comments, thanks)
