If you have a chance to look over this blog you will see that there are three contributors. That makes three sisters. I realize that Slog and Waddle sounds like two, but the terms are representational, and amorphic. You see sometimes the words are verbs, as in: I slogged for quite a long way while she waddled. Sometimes they are proper nouns: Slog is much more a night person; Waddle is always better in the morning. As nouns they can apply to each of the sisters at different times. Sometimes Slog is the first, sometimes the second, sometimes the third sister. I would certainly never choose which of the three of us fits each term best. If you have sisters you will understand my reluctance. Besides, there was no third term that fit comfortably into this. Slog, Waddle and Roll? Slog, Waddle, and What-the-Heck?
If this seemingly careless use of terms is bothersome or hard to get a hold of, I really am not able to help you. I prefer to call it poetic, and Slog and Waddle it is.
