I've always told people when they prefaced a question with "this is a stupid question..." by saying there are no stupid questions, just stupid people. It gets a laugh. So I've always been careful of not saying this may be a stupid question. But, I think I have one.

What does god speed mean? I hear it all the time and have no clue.

    I never thought to look in a dictionary. I thought if was a phrase. Not a word. Thanks.

    I guess that's why it was a stupid question....

    Here is a stupid question...if someone calls you "sweetheart" right before they rip into you...would you take it as condescending?

    Condescending? Yes! God Speed is a phrase wishing one well upon departure. It literally is shortt for May God's Speed Carry You Safely Home. Although there are tons of variations of the phrase.. In other words get to your destination safely and quickly.. This was back in the day when formal greetings were almost paragraphs long!! I forget all the shortening a of it, but another variation of this eventually became Good Bye. Just like Hello has it's own totally off the wall origin! Lol

    Correct whispering. I'll even add with my travels through the Middle East, they say "Allah ma-hak" translating to "god be with you."

    Stupid question:

    Does giving your significant other a "Dutch Oven" and it not ending the marriage / relationship signify true love?

    If your significant other would tolerate that from you. You'd better keep him/her. I for one, would end it in the spot!
