Alpo Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 I got the "Glock on a croc", but it wasn't. Now if they had taken that Smith and Wesson and placed it in between the top and bottom of a hamburger roll, that would be a gun on a bun. And you have alliteration. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpo Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 You are correct in that that word does not mean what I thought it meant. Alliteration is a repeated consonant sound. Mickey mouse, big boobs, sad sack. The repeating of vowel sounds - the o sound in Glock and crock or the u sound in gun and bun - is assonance. My dog is going to be pissed. Since I've learned something new at 7:15 in the morning, I can go back to bed until tomorrow (learn something new every day) so she's going to have to keep her legs crossed until tomorrow morning and she will miss out on supper. I will tell her it is Ozark's fault. So she shows up at your house and bites you on the leg, you will know why. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozark Huckleberry Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 (edited) 1 hour ago, Alpo said: Not according to here. https://literarydevices.net/alliteration/ Open to debate, as with the Oxford comma. Refer to the definition TJ thoughtfully provided. ‘Initial sound’ — not specifically consonants. Now you’re up to three. Edit to add: Alliteration vs. assonance Refer to p.1, last two paragraphs.

Subdeacon Joe Posted February 18 Author Share Posted February 18 2 minutes ago, Alpo said: 30 years ago, heck, maybe 25 years ago, this could likely have been true. But, let's say those ladies are 80 years old. That means born in 1943 or 1944. That means they would have been 20 going into the mid-1960s. Pretty slim chance that they wouldn't know what it is.

Alpo Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 It's hard to tell because that's really a crappy picture, but that swamp cat looks like a crocodile. The snout looks real narrow. Too narrow to be an alligator. Which should make that an Aussie swamp cat 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 The Rabbi, a golfing fiend, has finished the Yom Kippur morning service, and there is a break. He gets an uncontrollable urge to play a round of golf. G-d and the angels are watching. He goes to the golf course, tees up the first hole, swings for the first hole and gets a hole in one. He continues, to the second and the third holes and the same thing happens. G-d and the angels are watching. The angels ask G-d “why are you letting him win like this? This is Yom Kippur, the day of Atonement, you are supposed to be in the synagogue all day.” G-d keeps silent. This continues to the 18th hole, all the holes are holes in one. The angels now ask G-d “He is doing everything wrong. This is against what you are supposed to do. Why did you reward him with this great achievement?” G-d turns to them with a smile and says “Who is he going to tell”. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Stolen from the web… Yesterday I attended a wedding. I took almost an hour to dress up and I think was looking ok. Hoping against hope that my husband would appreciate or atleast look at me (I have been waiting for that one look from last 30 years). “Wow! Mom you are looking beautiful.” My daughter in law said. And just I was thinking that I will gift her something big for saying this.... “Even at this age”. She completed the sentence. Mental note - gift cancelled. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do not say, "No, those shorts don't make you look fat... your fat makes you look fat." That sort of comes from SHMBO. I had made the comment, "I'm glad you don't play those games " after hearing That Question on a TV show. She said, "I don't need to. I know my clothes don't make me look fat, my fat makes me look fat." She had also quipped at the grocery store, when the checker asked if I wanted a bag, "He doesn't need one, I'm right here " 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
