🎶my German friend noted this about me...my power!...her's was being lovely, and very smart...not "God" so much...more like...the doomscroll...on and on...

✨️The idiom "on and on" means continuing for a long time without stopping, often used to describe a tedious speech, action, or process. Its provenance stems from the basic iterative doubling of the Old English preposition and adverb on (meaning into, forward, or in operation), a natural linguistic reduplication found since Middle English to show endless repetition. [1, 2, 3, 4]

Etymology and Development
• Reduplication for Emphasis: Doubling or tripling a word (like "on and on" or "more and more") is a common Germanic feature used to show continuous duration, intensity, or a process repeating endlessly.Root Word ("On"): The word on traces back to Old English on (an unstressed form of an) and Proto-Germanic *ana, representing a state of ongoing motion or contact.Literary and Colloquial Usage: While not tied to a single historical event or specific author, the reduplicated adverbial phrase solidified in Early Modern and Modern English to describe temporal extension (e.g., a road, a story, or a sound that keeps going). [1, 2, 3]
