Re-Lamping in progress

Gotta love the English language. Like how you can create words.

I was driving up France Avenue and they are replacing street lights. The light-up warning sign said, "Re-lamping in progress". I found this amusing for some reason.

I guess it's better than un-lamping? And who knew that lamping was even a word? Gotta love the english language. I'm sure that will be in the dictionary next week!

Re-lamping? Hmm.
But consider the following sentence: "I'm going to google the band on your ipod and see if they have a blog!"
Five or ten years ago, the only word we probably would have known was band....
