Hi Everyone!
Today over at Rain's Thursday Art Date the theme is "Swipe" I thought about this, when I was a kid the word "swipe" was used for when someone stole something. In my family of 6 kids this was a big one. Swiping something was the worse thing we could do. Hey, we were Catholic and the guilt of doing something wrong especially stealing, well we for sure were going to purgatory. (Note, I am no longer affiliated to any organized church.) I found this photo on line, but this little girl looks so much like me when I was that age I had to show it. Hmmmm swiping cookies.
As language changes, almost daily, the word swipe
has so many different meanings now.
We now "swipe" our phones
and our financial cards
Ohh and there is a beer named Swipe
We use the word, "Swipe" to get rid to eliminate
something, like this
There are many other "new" uses for the word swipe,
In art it is clear to me.
I could actually go on with this word but
I really have to get outside to my garden
and gently swipe away some flowers for a center piece.

wow, you found sooo many ways of using the word Swipe. There will probably ve more as times go by, or is it swiping away :)
You explained that really well with the word, great photos are also included!
I wish you a nice weekend!
Greetings Elke
Boy, you are so right. The English Language is notorious for multiple meanings. That is one reason it is a hard language to learn. But, that said, you conjured up some swipes I hadn't even thought about :) And I know a good Catholic child wouldn't swipe a cookie ... would she? Great post Nicole ... be well and stay safe :)
