Twerpette (named for my dachshund Molley, the original twerpette or "goofy girl") seeks to tweak the long nose of life with humor, affection, and gravitas. Topics include dating and relationships, faith and spirituality, language and writing, journalism, technology, arts, academe, whimsy and humanity. Cheeky and tweaky, Twerpette is rated PG13 for mature language and themes. This weblog began May 10, 2005. Copyright 2005-2016 Steve Deyo.
More than 20 years ago, I ran across this word's definition in my American Heritage English Dictionary (AHED), which said the word originated near wartime Gremblin, France, and implying that a nearby brewery somehow contributed to the next day's mechanical problems. Explanation: The planes were afflicted with mythical "gremlins"!
