Have you got your GOOMWA yet?

You may ask, "What IS GOOMWA?"

1) It's the buzzword of the year
2) It's useable in all sorts of applications
3) It's INDISPENSABLE!

Okay, but WHAT IS IT?

* Well, have you ever been caught in traffic behind someone
who is reading, applying makeup (male OR female), talking
on the cell phone or READING???

* Have you ever been in a clogged up hallway or grocery aisle,
when it seemed no one was moving?

* Have you ever been bold enough to believe in a project, only to have
a crowd of people try to tell you it will never happen?

Well . . .

* What have you found yourself screaming into your own windshield?

* What have you wanted to say but were too nice to say it?

* What one word will help push those nay-sayers aside
and clear your path to success FOREVER?

You know the answer.. it's simple.

GOOMWA!!!!!!!

which translates to:

"Get Out Of My WAy!!!!!"

Now, some people have already decided to alter the translation just a little,
so that that last "A" means something else... oh I don't know, like "Airhead," or
"Angelface," or maybe even (gasp).. no, I can't say it.

But you get the idea.

So isn't it more efficient... more succinct... more effective...
to use a single, TWO-syllable word than 
a string of 5 (or 6, depending on what you do with that last "A")
single-syllable (or more) words?

PLUS

You can change that last "A" to "Anything" you want, and still scream
"GOOMWA" at the top of your lungs in public without offending anyone, but
more importantly, without potentially getting injured by your intended party,
as would surely happen if they knew what you'd changed that last "A" to.
(and I'm really letting my imagination run wild here, folks.. so just picture it)

Here you are, ready to snap a picture of oh sayyy, a skyscraper. You've
waited for fifteen minutes for the sun to reflect just right off the top windows.
It's going to be an awesome shot.. you'll be a shoe-in for First Place at the next
photo expo.

When suddenly, a dark image fills your viewfinder!

You look over the top of your camera, holding your carefully choreographed
 position as well as you can and scream "GOOMWA!" at the offender blocking
your camera's lens.
(now really, what's faster, "Get Out Of My WAy" or "GOOMWA"?)

The dark image disappears from your viewfinder and you capture the shot.

Now, the offending character, had he known what you might have replaced that
last "A" with, might have been about to give you a bloody nose. Instead,
he's stepped aside, bewildered, and you got your shot.

That bewilderment can also buy you enough time to escape his vicinity,
because, after all, once the WORD gets out, everyone will realize
the potential for GOOMWA, but few will be ready when they actually
HEAR it.

OR

Maybe you don't want to change that last "A" but just want a
quick and easy way to get people, pets, or otherwise out of your path.
GOOMWA is a nice word, too!

***

Now, I've COPYRIGHTED this phrase.. done all the paperwork,
paid all the fees, and sent it in to the good people at the Library of Congress
in our US capital, Washington, D.C., who didn't seem to think
there was any problem with me owning the rights to it.

However, I'm giving YOU, the bright and curious Public,
permission to say this phrase with all the gusto you can muster..
and say it as often as you please!

(How else is it going to become and remain the buzzword of the year?)

You can draw it on your notebooks, you can scribble it on your
grocery lists, but you can't claim it as your own and
you can't print it on things to sell.

Before you know it, taxi drivers, bus drivers, success-seekers,
moms, pops, photographers and others all over America will be saying
GOOMWA.

I imagine that some divorces in their formulative stages might even
involve GOOMWA in the dialogue.
 

That's why, as soon as I can set it up, GOOMWA will appear on T-shirts,
coffee mugs, magnets, mouse pads and just about anything I can think of to put it on.
(Don't use these objects to injure the infractor - I cannot be responsible for
abusive applications.)

Meanwhile, I am starting this project with some attractive,
yet effective, 2.25" dia. pinback buttons at just $1 apiece!

Won't you be bold enough to get in on the start of
a new form of expression?
