ReplyDeleteScared shitless was a pretty good one if you ask me! Got my vote on that!

Erm...I have to confess my ignorance, I don't know what a hyperbole is, I'm off to look it up...

Yes, Lisa Marie, I always wondered why they call it a flea market!
ReplyDeleteThanks Sarah.
No worries, Kitty, I had to look it up to be sure I wasn't using it inappropriately.
Good additions, especially the Tax Cut, KW!
Thanks,

What's a hyperbole? Is it a really huge salad?
ReplyDeleteGot it! The curve of intersection between a right circular conical surface and a plane that cuts through both halves of the cone.
ReplyDeleteOh hang on that's a hyperbola. Bugger.
Working on it
Oh I am voting for scared shitless - good list!
ReplyDeleteKate xx
Ubes, it's a curly wurly between a right circular conical surface and some antique gum.
ReplyDeleteThanks Kate.
Have a hyperbolic happy day.

Abstract Art gets my vote! How can it be abstract and art at the same time?
ReplyDeleteI hate Abstract Art!
Scared shitless is also another very good one!
ReplyDeleteAlice, yes, I HATE abstract art..and the fact that some people need not work because they "create" it. !!!
ReplyDeleteCheers,
Robyn
Abstract art? Are you implying that if it's abstract it ain't art? Certainly it can be and has been a convenient vehicle for charlatans, but what about Kandinsky? Or Mondrian? Or Jackson Pollock?
ReplyDeleteThis phrase is well overdone: "global village".
