plus MUCH, MUCH more.
Words to Tickle the Humorous Humerus is a kaleidoscopic collection of over 3,500 English words—a veritable dictionary—including goofinitions, Tom Swiftlies, collective nouns, mock antonyms, wonder words, body parts, hyp-hens, and much more. This is a must-have volume for comedians, speech writers, punsters, toastmasters, English teachers, students of language, and anyone who needs a laugh. A great book for the coffee table... or the evacuation center (usually called something else, like “the rest room.”)
A sample of humor in the book not at www.jimwegryn.com/Words. Does anyone really watch a watch? “Where’s my pants?” Tom asked briefly “Word of mouth has it that silence is golden.” Is it okay to listen to AM radio after noon? Apronym for DIET: Don’t Ingest Edible Things Yard sign misprint: “Garbage sale, every Saturday” ...plus a lot more. |
