Beachgurl's blog: "Rox Speed"

You know, I love riddles, codes, sayings and the like. I thought I'd share this one with you. A few weeks ago I was presented with a phrase that I had never heard used in this context nor ever considered; however, I liked the sound of it anyway even though I had never prescribed to its true meaning. The phrase? Pump the brakes - a euphemism for something other than what it literally implies. I liked the sound of it, was going to heed what it meant and pondered it enough to write a country duet that I subsequently copyrighted and sent to an up-and-coming CW artist in Mississippi, due to record an album in January. In the meantime, I pumped the brakes for a time then decided to actually hit them hard. Circumstances had changed. Now I've gone so far as to put on the emergency brake and turn the engine to idle. Eventually, I'll slip it into drive but steer in a different direction, hopefully with someone who's comfortable at Rox speed.
