Seems that the latest buzz word I hear a lot from friends and visitors to Buzzy’s Country Store, and for that matter just about everywhere, is “Really?!” (Not sure if the inflection is one of questioning or exclamation. Some folks will even say it twice and use both inflections – “Really? Really!”)
As terms go, I kind of like it because it economizes on the number of words that one would have previously used such as “You got to be shittin’ me,” or “Get the f**k out.” The texting folks have managed to shortened it even more with AYKM (figure it out) or the ever present WTF.
So here’s a new Buzzyblog feature titled just that – “Really?” This one is on stupid warning labels, the first couple of which are photo’s I grabbed of labels that caught my eye.

My favorite take on warning labels comes from my Grandmother Miss Hattie who noted: “You can’t judge a book by its cover; but if the candy bar says nuts on the outside, it’s a good bet that there’s nuts on the inside.”
