Pish-tush (or pish-tosh, or pish-posh) is a British slang expression used since the 18th century. It was also the name of a character in Gilbert & Sullivan’s The Mikado, written in 1884, though the phrase was in use long before that. The closest equivalent in modern American slang would probably be, “Yeah, right.” [End of fun etymology fact of the day]
Here is what was posted today in our blog on www.nancyandsluggo.com…..so you know where we are coming from when you visit our site and buy something…….thanks….
LOVE IS AN ACTION WORD!We are all about Products and Services That benefit “Make A Wish” and “Wounded Warrior”, as well as other organizations : Guy Gilchrist has been drawing and writing the Nancy Comic Strip since September of 1995. We, Teresa and Guy, and our Publishers, believe in the underlying themes in NANCY, of joy and smiles,unconditional love ,compassion, faith, and freedom, and second and even third chances at happiness.
NANCY and SLUGGO are orphans. NANCY showed up as an orphan on her Aunt’s front step in 1933. SLUGGO, another orphan, appeared a few years later. All oNancy’s pets are adopted. The NANCY comic strip is a terrific way to spread fun, joy, silliness and laughter around the world….and also hopefully do some good.
We believe in helping today’s disenfranchised children. All over the world and in this country, there are the children of our fallen heroes, children who have lost their parents and families to all manner of life’s storms. While we pray and lift these challenged children up in faith, it is also important we do so in deed. LOVE is DOING. LOVE is an ACTION WORD.
A percentage of all products sold here and on tour go directly to orphans through Make A Wish and Wounded Warrior. Sales of our Christmas records also benefit BoysTown. Sales of Dogg and Nancy’s Pets products and appearances directly support Animal Adoption and Rescue.
We will post more in our blogs about how sales from our products are helping challenged families around the country and the world. It’s a little thing. Just us…and you. But isn’t that how love and change happens?
