It's an ephemerous feeling. Why call the whole thing off? What thing?

Glad to hear, BD, that your foul mood is merely ephemeral - let impermanence be the fate of all foul moods ! If it's now improved to the point where you no longer find levity inappropriate, read the song lyrics to which I posted a link and consider your «ejus» and Apo's «eius» in that light....

Your levity won't open. And I've tried thrice.

Strange, BD, it opens for me, and without my even whispering «Sesame» ! But here's the URL : «http://www.fredastaire.net/music/lyrics/letscallthewholethingoff.htm» - see if you can get it to work !...

Sometimes humor just doesn't translate. I was able to open the link, and reproduce for you the relevant lyric:

Let's Call The Whole Thing Off
From the RKO Picture "Shall We Dance"
Music by George Gershwin; Lyric by Ira Gershwin
Performed by Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers

. . .

You like potato and I like potahto
You like tomato and I like tomahto
Potato, potahto, Tomato, tomahto.
Let's call the whole thing off.

. . .

As in pō-tā-tō (long a), pō-tah-tō (broad a).

Well, it didn't work again, but I used google and there it was. Funny. I say ephemerous, you say ephemeral, let's call the whole thing off, ha ha ha.
