How often do you entertain yourself musing about slippery words and expressions? This stuff fascinates me ( I know, I'm a geek) so I hope you'll offer up your own examples after reading a few of mine.
* When people say things like "I wonder when he/she will settle down" might they be hoping that he/she will "settle for" someone?
* How long can you hold a grudge against someone before the grudge begins holding you?
* Where is the line between showmanship and showing off?
Tomato, potahto, you say? A very precocious young relative of mine once said "You're yuck could be my yum". I haven't yet been able to improve on that wisdom.
Wise young girl that grandchild of mine.
