LOVE them all!
Possibly my fave:
Depict: What the Romans wanted to do to Scotland
These are great. I think I now understand how fundies read and understand their bible.
Hi there, I enjoy reading all of your post. I wanted to write
a little comment to support you.
These are all so clever! I enjoyed them!
LMAOOOO
My fav is Barbarian....
XOXO
Assange = a french monkey
Thanks everyone!
Ole: Good one -- though perhaps an insult to monkeys.
Could Barbarian also be -- A librarian who bar-tends?
As always ... good job! You're quite talented.
Thanks! That could definitely be the case. I came up with yet another one for "barbarian" here.
Furlong- Your dog needs a hair cut. LOL
Those were all funny.
These are excellent! I had to work to "get" them, though. My eye just keeps wanting to see the word as a whole instead of parts that work separately. Have you always seen words this way or have you just practiced a whole lot?
Mary: :-)
Jenny_o: I've only been coming up with this kind of re-definition for about a year and a half (see earlier posts in the series), but I've always been fascinated by words and language and tend to look at them from every possible angle. I guess it's just what my brain is attuned to.
What a fun and clever idea! Hugs...RO
