#HappyBirthday to the #March22 #BirthdayCohort (with #ReeseWitherspoon @ReeseW & @KeeganMKey & ALL the #FamousBirthdays @Bing lists) on #NationalGoofOffDay | @HolidaysCalendr @BirthdayMates @YourTango @MySundayMass
... or -on 'whichever of these holidays, awareness-dates &/or event-anniversaries you celebrate!'
Holidays Calendar explains how they got a date for us to #GoofOff in a report accessed through 'the bold hyperlink(s)' below; but first I want to teach you about those words. And I find you understand words better if you see 'the words at their base' (then going on to look at the words at those words' bases, then the words at those words' bases, etc.-etc. ad infinitum into their Foundation)
The phrase “Goof Off (originally army-slang for 'to Make a Mistake in your Drills,' but coming to mean 'to Loaf, Waste Time' ... #Goof #Goofing #Goofed #Goofs #Goofer #Goopher #Goofy #Goofball)” is probably built on ancient words that mean "Awkward, Stupid, |Buffoonery, |Scolding" (Gaffe, Curse, Spell).
It 'thrills me' a little 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' ...
This Day's Birthday-Cohort

Emmet Walsh, Chico Marx,
