Of words and other play.
Phonology has always amazed me. It's amazing how similar sounding words can be misconstrued in so many different ways and can yet find themselves an inappropriate yet fitting context. Take for instance the predicament of the musical fish who loved choral riffs, or mickey-acting goofy and chasing minnie skirts.
Colourfully put, I'm not intending to discuss the why's and the hues here, but my mediochre taste in such areas notwithstanding, shades of everyday life are laced with multiple interpretations. I heard a good one recently, where people were talking about botched denims and how people wearing them should be thrown off the jean pool. Speaking of clothes, i'm going to patent my taste in shirts with a collar id. You should too, yes you should. Fuck off, suit yourself, you can't have everything tailor made. Heh !
Now before i hit overbored mode with my lousy digressions, lets get back to the central theme of this almost pointless exercise in wordplay.
My point is similar sounding words are easy to manipulate, almost always unintentionally. Like how the dumb patient had issues with his elementary canal. Elementary would also work for chemistry, where ionic bonding between atoms and eaves exists and NO is actually compound, statements or otherwise ;)
Moving on to women and physics, ever noticed how species of the gender in question get charged and lose their spark at such amazing frequencies ? No wonder electricity is a scale-her quantity! Mathematics has it's share of quirks as well, if you've noticed almost every math lecture sees a general deviation from the thumb rule, often leading right up to the middle finger and resulting in other such sign conventions. Then there's music, Ah music ! With complicated guitar chords that make you go "G sus !" and other drummings and bassless monotones that constitute essentially what every wordplay loving musician has a punchant for.
That aside there's an entirely different genre we call double entendres. These are phenomenally more genuine and if possible, more fitting. For instance, i laughed out loud when a friend of mine unintentionally made a statement talking about how the
That's that. Now for sexual innuendos. Sentences are incomplete without double meanings and other carnally funny connotations. It's weird how they turn up everywhere, innocuously or other-vice. Sigmund Freud would tell you ! Needless to say, it's a hard topic to stay abreast of. They date back to several thousand years and are rooted deep in the anals of enlish language. Everybody knows about tiger's wood and how his 19th hole leaked it to the media. Science has it too, there was a recent study on how simple harmonic motion results in an award winning wiggle, there that's getting to the bottom of things. Not a rearity, just goes to vindicate my point !
This is where i shall call it a day and hit the sack, or er not. In a nutshell, heck wait, no nuts and let's not even start talking about shells, clams and suchlike !
Liked it/disliked it ?
Diss-cuss !
