Yesternight Part Deux

I was thinking LAST (it sounds ridiculous…LAST) night about my son’s word: yesternight. I am still touched by its logic, its simplicity, its sheer brilliance.

We can expand upon this word though. We can take the seed and grow a tree. There’s more we can do with “yester.” Yesterday – sure…we use it all the time. But, open the mind: yesternight, yesterweek, yestermonth, yester-christmas, yester-summer, yester-Monday, yester-weekend, yester-birthday.

I am looking to change the way our society speaks, starting with the injecting the word “yester” into our vocabulary on a more regular basis. “Yester” is more accurate, more descriptive and its fun to say. Would rather say “last week” or “yester-week?”

Yester. It spills out of your mouth with ease.

The other thing about saying yester is that you sound smart when you say it. Think about when someone says “the days of yesteryear.” Sure…it sounds a BIT pretentious, but you have to admit. It also sounds smart.

So, start sounding smart, and start using “yester.”
