Magnetic Poetry
Magnetic Poetry So, just stumbled upon the word "cleave," which has two meanings that are opposites; when you join with something you cleave to it, and when you separate you cleave from it. Hmmm... any other words you can think of that work this way?
Magnetic Poetry Incidentally, why do we call Deutschland "Germany" and Nippon "Japan" and Österreich "Austria" and Wein "Vienna" and so forth? Why can't we call them what their natives call them? Are we too stoopid? Sorry, I'm still grumpy about this farv thing.
Magnetic Poetry Answer me this: How do you get "farv" out of "Favre?" It's "fahv-ruh," dipshit. I admit it, I'm pissed off about this. Hated that prima donna when he was a Packer, and now he's a Vike. Sigh...

Just came upon this article, which reminds me of another word I love: Butterfinger. So vaguely obscene...:

Magnetic Poetry Malapropism overheard yesterday: A guy at the Holiday station says to another guy, "The economy's in the crapper and Obama wants to take away our health care... it defines all logic!" Awesome.

Magnetic Poetry Another dirty Spoonerism poem has come to my attention: Mrs Puggy Wuggy has a square cut punt. Not a punt cut square, Just a square cut punt. It's round in the stern and blunt in the front. Mrs Puggy Wuggy has a square cut punt. Use it in peace, my friend
Magnetic Poetry My favorite Spoonerism is one my Grandma taught us when we were very young children; what a great Grandma! Teach your children well, I say: I'm not the fig plucker, nor the fig plucker's son, But I'll pluck your figs 'til the fig plucker comes.
Magnetic Poetry Just heard a podcast this morning about tongue twisters. Apparently the hardest one, according to Guiness, is: The sixth sick sheik's sixth sheep's sick. Tongue twisters are to be distinguished from Spoonerisms, which switch phonemes of two words, as in "
Magnetic Poetry Just heard another good word: Flap. Just seems perfectly suited to it's meaning. Could a flap by any other name seem as flappy?
Magnetic Poetry Hey, lay some good malapropisms on me! One of my favorites was when I heard a woman describe how adoring her friend's husband was by saying he really "puts her on a plateau."
Magnetic Poetry "Jopy." Who is this Jopy, and why does his name appear on bathroom walls? I did a quick internet search and didn't really find anything. Any ideas?
