Snow, Snow, Snow

The word "snow" has several uses in English. Let’s review just a few of them. The first definition of the word "snow" has to do with what is really frozen water vapor. When water vapor condenses and then freezes, this is what is called snow. Snow forms when this water vapor crystallizes.

These crystals are called snowflakes, and a handful of snow is made up of hundreds of thousands or even millions of them.

Example: "There will be great conditions for skiing tomorrow because of the snow that is expected," or "John made a snowball and then threw it at his friends."

Snow
Another definition of the word "snow" has to do with your television. When you turn on your TV and there is no channel’s signal to receive, this lack of a signal and the random visual pattern that exists are all called "snow." Example:

"Even though he bought a brand new and very expensive TV, all Pavel got was snow when he tried to watch the football game yesterday."

Snow
Yet another definition of the word "snow" has to do with what is called dandruff.

Dandruff is a condition where the skin on your scalp dries up and breaks off into small pieces or flakes. The word snow is often used as another name for dandruff. Example:

"That politician forgot to brush the snow off from the collar of his new black suit. You could really see it on camera when he gave that interview."

                    Jokes of the Day

1. A chicken and an egg are sleeping together in bed.

The chicken is all relaxed, is feeling great and has just started smoking a cigarette.

The egg, extremely upset, disappointed and not smiling, looks over at the chicken and says, "Well, I guess we finally answered THAT question! I'm going to sleep now."

2. A blind man goes into a bar and sits right in the middle of five blonde women.

"Hey, would you ladies like to hear some blonde jokes?" he asks.

"Mister, I know you can't see anything, but all five of us women are blondes, I'd be careful telling us some blonde jokes if I were you."

"You're right," says the man. "There's no point in doing it if I have to repeat the same joke five different times."
