On word play and viruses
7 Jul 2009 10:49 amYou know how the New York Times sometimes does word play stuff, or so I'm told? They get folk whose minds work that way to add a letter to a word and give it a new meaning. I say up front that I'm no use at that kind of thing when put on the spot, but occasionally, just now-and-then, the brain splutters and I do it by stealth. I found these two 'slips' while editing something written in a hurry some time ago and it took me until now to come up with the meaning. Thought it might amuse.
Indeuced: encouraged to show one's hand.
Roamance: a love story gone Walkabout.
Or maybe it's only funny to me... *g*
My recent absence was because of 'teh sickies'. Friday, I had the worst headache of my life and I used to have migraines. I was scared it was Serious but it turned out it was 'only a virus' and 'there's a lot of it about'. I'll spare you further detail but other, explosive, body functions were involved in the eviction of said virus. "But I have a flag," I said weakly, prostrated on the bed, and lo, I was victorious and the virus went down to the vile depths from which it sprung, unwept, unhonoured and unsung.
And here I am. Making less sense than I usually do in here but that's what the railings are for; so y'all can safely view this little nut. :)
