What does “YAAFI” mean? Well, we’ll get to that in a moment.

First, let me say that this little editorial addition to my blog is not going to be explicitly or obviously “Whiteheadian,” although everything I write is to some considerable degree informed by those studies. That said, this will be more in the way of a personal screed mostly (if not entirely) lacking in scholarly &/or academic virtues. In other words, I intend to not only go full snark, but to occasionally employ “adult language.” Now, said “adult language” will certainly not exceed anything you’d hear with profligate abandon among a bunch of teenagers. Indeed, I consider “profligate abandon” far more adult language than the “fucks” I’m about to liberally dish out. I mean, seriously: when was the last time you saw “profligate abandon” used in a YA novel? When was the last time you saw a YA novel that didn’t have at least one “fuck”? (I don’t actually know; I read fucking adult literature.)

Oh yeah, perhaps I should add that my tongue will, on at least an occasion or two, be squarely planted in my cheek. I will trust to the context to make those occasions obvious.
