ever wonder at the decscriptive power of the modern english language?? especially our insults?
recently i've come across these two which have become favorites for me. and i'm even gonna toss in an old standby to use as a comparison.
1] instead of saying someone has their head up thier ass, try telling them they have a serious case of "cranial rectosis"
a] the old standby here was military jargon; ' you have your cranial computer in rectal defilade"
and the other one is
2] anal glaucoma "when you can't see your ass coming [ or going ] to work today."
yeah i know, tongue in cheek, these are anal retentive. but, doesnt that make ya wonder what we think of other people on a daily basis? or is it that our ways of thinking have become crappy? :eek:
please, join in. if you have one to share add it on.. lets see how creative our linguistic skills are.
