Can I make a music recommendation?
I mean I've already recommended Charmin toilet paper last post.
What are the rules for Sunny Side of Mars? Do we even have any rules or guidelines or is it three friends just writing about whatever?
Everyone needs to listen to this song if they haven't already. It's making me rock out of my knickers.

Have you posted anythings sober? Loveage told me I should write things that get my panties in a bunch and you should be the free spirit and she'll post pictures of her fucking cats. Don't you remember that conversation? We did it online.
ReplyDeleteOh crap you're right. I totally forgot about that. I think I was hammered when we had that talk.
ReplyDeleteAnd no, I have not been drinking. This was actually the first post I've had sober.
What? I like the song. You don't?
I like the song. Fine song.
ReplyDeleteI was more or less commenting on your randomness. And your drunkenness.
I have not been drinking.
ReplyDeleteSo you wear panties and the bunch up. Pity. You should switch to boxer shorts.
It's called and idiom you idiom.
ReplyDeleteI thought that was called a "figure of speech"
ReplyDeleteEh...it's kind of the same thing.
ReplyDeleteAn idiom is basically a figure of speech.
A figure of speech is a word or phrase which diverges from its literal meaning. You're creating an effect - if you say "it's hot as hell" you are implying it is really hot outside but the temperature has not risen to Luciferian levels. If you are "starving" you're not actually dying from hunger, rather you've gone a few hours with eating Taco Bell. If it is "raining cats and dogs" one can surmise it is raining hard outside, not that they will be hit by falling chihuahuas and sphinx cats.
Basically an idiom is a figure of speech but those words combined become an idiomatic expression. Hence it is less literal. They have an intrinsic meaning that, if you are unfamiliar with the languages you probably have no idea what they are talking about.
If our Government passes some legislation you are opposed to you might say "the White House is insane" with White House being the idiom. A foreigner might not know that the White House represents the President and his cabinet. If you give something "a lick and a promise", you did something quickly with the intent of returning later to finish the job. If I have my "panties in a bunch" I am irritated.
