I thought I would dabble into a little – Coffee Talk. You know, I’ve been accused of being a wise guy from time to time and I suppose I am. However, not really. Here are some areas with a coffee at the side to think about and enjoy. They are points to consider now rather than points these could be considered perspective angles.
Too bad wise guy and wise man don’t mean the same thing.
When you say there’s a slim chance or a fat chance of something happening, it means the same.
However, when stars are visible we say they are out and when lights are out, they are invisible. English doesn’t make sense sometimes.
The plural of house is houses but the plural of mouse isn’t mouses. (Duh)
Two moose are the same as one moose but more than one tooth becomes teeth.
Now why is that?
More than one booth isn’t beeth. However, an extra goose makes geese.
They say birds of a feather flock together except a bunch of geese is a gaggle.
A writer writes but a grocer doesn’t groce.
A vegetarian eats vegetables but a humanitarian doesn’t eat humans. ( None that I know of ) .........Although I guess, a humanitarian could theoretically be eaten BY humans in some jungle or other. (Which brings me to New Guinea)
Perhaps in Guinea where you won’t find Guinea pigs because, they don’t come from there and they aren’t pigs in any case. And if staying there you do wish to have a good head sense or it may cost the top of your head.
English muffins don’t come from England and French Fries aren’t from France. Now where do these things originate?
In the meantime be careful if someone offers you sweetbreads which are meat and not sweet.
ReplyDeleteBetter to have a sweetmeat, which is sweet and is not meat but a candy. :)
LOL You are a wiseguy. : )
ReplyDeletelmao you nut!!
ReplyDelete
ReplyDeleteBut then if I was a wise guy - what would a wise women be called?
( consider myself to be a good kinda wise one )
ReplyDeletePamela what differenciates a nut from a cracker? :)
Pamela!!!!
ReplyDelete
ReplyDeleteSo Pam be a assicated with wise.
That seems to fit. :)
Lol :) good ones
ReplyDelete
ReplyDeleteNow, with the term good ones. Does ones equate to one in plural or the whole bunch. :)
Ha ha ha. Fascinating food for thought. But do we really eat thoughts as it were food? If we do I wonder what the teeth of our brains look like? And if we 'think therefore am,' what if I think of 20 piece Chicken McNuggets? or if the question is, 'to be or not to be,' where do we go if we choose not to be? Why are multiple fish called a school? And what do they learn? Why are plural kangaroos called a mob? And do you suppose the roos know the mafia term, 'sleep with the fishes,'.......(okay that was lame)....
ReplyDeleteNot lame at all there again how does lame mean - "not as good as it's should be"? We all went to school but does that mean we are "fished" into it? "To be or not to be" now that sort of is a flip flop and I don't mean the things one wears on there feet. I can't say I heard of Kangaroos associated to the "Mob". But maybe Skippy was part Italian.
ReplyDeleteThings to ponder. :)
very good[sweetbreads,,can be camouflaged]
ReplyDeleteDoes that mean there are some foods ending with "BREAD" hide?
ReplyDeleteThey do make one think there Jack, don't they. Good thing I don't drink coffee, cause then my brain would be running on overflow.
ReplyDeleteTheresa it's a term, I never thought much about coffee - talk. Now that you mention it I have never seen
ReplyDeleteanyone talk while sipping coffee at the same time. Last but not least. Beans don't talk - hence coffee
doesnt either. I like the term over flow yet I am not surround by water. Does that make one fluid?
Well, I know I am a wise ass because you deleted one of my comments once..lol, remember Jack! ?
ReplyDelete:)
I can't say that I recall Lisa, yet Donkeys can be smart. :)
ReplyDeleteTo begin with coffee talk isn't coffee talk at all but a mongering done between coffee sips ;)
ReplyDeleteEnglish muffins don't come in England the same w/ French fries aren't from France but in everybody's kitchen.
And a school of fish is actually a school of fish swimming together without knowing where to go for they're a lost out in the deep! Hola! :)
Now be careful if someone offers a sweet candy for often than not that sweet candy is a sweet coated species that can make us all toothless wich in turned makes us all a bad kisser. Geesh, of course these talks are just done within a coffee table less the coffee talk ... a good morning from here! :)
The Royal wedding, does that ring a bell?
ReplyDeleteIt's all good Jack...as they say now a days..
Definitely plenty to ponder in this blog! Perplexing to say the least, and you make some good points.
ReplyDeleteThere's no rhyme or reason to figuring out the English language. I just go with the flow ;-)
It was a satire Dee I did with words and enjoyable.
ReplyDeleteLol
ReplyDeleteAnd then there's Murphy's Law. What every could happen will happen.
No, very cute coffee antics.
:)
ReplyDeleteNow if it happened Erika, was the will there or did it just come by chance? :)
