...ever heard of the reticular activating system?

When you're thinking about buying a green Ford, you'll start to see a lot of green Fords around.

See if it happens with the wonks!

DamonLeigh--- Well . . . I wish that "wonks" did look like that. In reality

I believe that they are a subspecies of "geek," as in "computer geek." Only a "policy wonk," for example,  lives lives and breathes policy, as opposed to computer stuff. They are the ones responsible for such things as one-million-page tax codes and other such indecipherables.

Never heard of it. And I read a lot, too.

ms bradrock...

...being British myself, I know this, but wonk is not connected, as far as I can tell, to wonky.

And it may not be in a dictionary, but American writers do use it.

Thanks for the comment, and a beleated Welcome to Blogit to you!

This is a Wonk ~

Which, in our imperial, super-power empire, is mass-produced for wanking.  Or maybe whacking.  Whatever....me so horny.

I shouldn't have to explain this....

I don't know about the word "wonk."

Wonky, however, is of British origin and means crooked or unreliable. Wonk is not in my dictionary...
