gomboc

The Gomboc is a roundish piece of clear synthetic material with gently peaked, organic curves. It looks like a piece of modern art. But if you tip it over, something unusual happens: it rights itself. A three-dimensional object that purely by dint of its geometry had only one possible way to balance upright.(from New York Times, 12/9/07)

He's such a gomboc. No matter what life tossed at him, job loss, divorce, sickness, he kept bouncing back.

anybody's mama, everybody's mama

a reason that I'll tell you what you should be doing even if I have never seen you before

I mention to a stranger, "Your shirt's not buttoned right," or at a local restaurant, I'll suggest what he should order for lunch, and add, "anybody's mama, everybody's mama."

goof on

to deliberately choose to spend time on something not particularly important

Chris Young is already enjoying the day off. Been reading on my front porch, recording videos, and just goofing off in general. Later on I plan to goof on in particular ways.
