How about a word game for anyone who would like a challenge .........
Oxymorons - what a wonderful word!
I'll start with a few:
good grief
sweet sorrow
pretty ugly
Government intelligence
Microsoft Works
"How do you spell 'Love'?" (Piglet).
"You don't spell it, you feel it" (Pooh).
'A hug,' said Pooh 'is always the right size!'
At Nottingham University, a tutor decided that it would be fun to get to know each other by going round the assembled bunch of students, and asking them to give their name plus an adjective describing themselves. It had to begin with the same letter.
My name is Val, and the very kind guy sitting next to me said "say voluptuous" - how sweet of him.
"How do you spell 'Love'?" (Piglet).
"You don't spell it, you feel it" (Pooh).
'A hug,' said Pooh 'is always the right size!'
Er .....no.
We still e-mail each other, though - a lovely guy.
His name is Don, and he called himself Dangerous Don in that exercise - he is so far from dangerous, it was a really clever thing to say!
"How do you spell 'Love'?" (Piglet).
"You don't spell it, you feel it" (Pooh).
'A hug,' said Pooh 'is always the right size!'
My favourite of that name type was from Readers Digest many years ago (so it has to be true )
Scene from US Army boot-camp:
Tough drill sergeant major:
"You are all a bunch of weaklings My job is to break you down and remake you as real soldiers.
My name is Sgt Stone. What's your name (expletive deleted)?"
After a pause,
"Stonebreaker, Sir"
Never knowingly underfed
Yes, in The Week recently, a similar story - a sergeant in the army had the misfortune to be named
Stan Still.
Calling out to his troops "Get a move on" produced some titters!!!
"How do you spell 'Love'?" (Piglet).
"You don't spell it, you feel it" (Pooh).
'A hug,' said Pooh 'is always the right size!'
An oxymoron that used to send my mother mad whenever she heard it was "and there she was gone", whenever someone disappeared suddenly.
