Dogs Steal Yarn

Everyone doesn't use right grammar, no-ways, right?

Mmmm... garlic grammar toast? With comma cheese, please! :D

Haaa!

oh. oh. I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

sounds like something from Overheard in New York.

No, I think it was supposed to be transcribed like this:

"If he keeps up this pace, he'll be, toast by tomorrow."

Wheeeee!

No no, it's:
"If he keep's up this pace, heel be comma toast . . . "

Heee!
I like that better than "Where's the meeting at?"
Will somebody please get me the Hell out of Ohio!!

Maybe it was an accent?
If not I'll try to find it in my grocer's freezer.

haha, awesome. my favorite was hearing that someone was "waddling in his own misery". mmm hmm.

Ugh. I don't want to sound like an old fuddy duddy but I shudder to think of what will happen to the English language in a few more decades. Comma toast. Cut the mustard.

I like jam comma toast for breakfast.

Probably tastier than period toast.

Yeah, I like my comma toast with garlic too... that way I can have bad breath at the same time. ;)

Well, sometimes a semicolon sandwich is just too much for breakfast.

So do you have that with, or without, butter?

I had to say it out loud to get it. Pretty funny. Thumper will grace you with many more of these. For example, youngest son once said to me (at the age of 6) "I'm really good at shredding water". Me meant treading water.

BTW-my yarn arrived this week. Very drapey.

HAHAHA! That one is funny . . .

My mother-in-law has the enraging habit of using the word "ideal" instead of "idea". As in "Oh, that's a good ideal!" or "I have an ideal". Grrrr.

oh, heck, there are millions of these (called "mondegreens" when they're for song lyrics, for example "Pardon me while I kiss this guy" as a mishearing of "Pardon me while I kiss the sky"). One of my friends who was kinda-sorta pre-med had a "Redneck Medical Terms" t-shirt that boasted such things as:

"Urine: opposite of 'you're out'"
"Bacteria: the rear door of a cafeteria"
"Very-close veins: veins that are very close and painful"

(Actually, on that last one? I know people who actually call varicose veins "very close veins")

The one that happens around here and that irritates me is that no one seems to know what a "wheal" is (as a medical term). I've been told that I get "allergic whelps" which makes me want to respond, "Wait...I'm breaking out in PUPPIES?!?!"

Hilarious!

I work with someone who frequently says "for all instensive purposes." I think i should offer her a piece of comma toast.

Comma toast! If only it existed.

Too funny you should add that to http://www.overheardinnewyork.com/ it would make a great sumbission!

My goodness, I'm slow. It took me about 2 mins to actually figure out what that person was saying. Need...more...caffeine.

Thanks for the laugh!

If someone is comma toast, does that mean they can't have a bottle movement?

I worked with a guy who told me someone wore so much after-shave "he smelled like a French poorhouse."

Took me a second to get that one comma too.

An English professor friend got this charming phrase from a paper on Shakespeare:
(Character) "was bathed in the urethral light of heaven."

Who knew Shakespeare was so kinky?

The answer to the "Where's the meeting at?" question is: "Back-air".

I like this one, too: Physical-year instead of fiscal. Gosh!

A knitting one for you (from an email I received earlier this week): "No inter-mitten month to month membership/cancellations."

I once had a coworker inform me that her daughter was hospitalized over the weekend because she had "ammonia in her lungs." I was utterly aghast - until I realized that she meant "pneumonia in her lungs." (Hospitalization for pneumonia is still pretty bad, but not, I think, as bad as ammonia.)

I was too dumbfounded by the word swap to realize until later that "pneumonia in her lungs" is, of course, redundant. (As opposed to what - pneumonia in her head?)

I overheard someone discussing the movie "Get Rich or Try Dieing".

That is my new favorite word/phrase. By 10 o'clock at night I frequently am comma toast.
