WORDS

[doklikit]

The word "Mythomanical" in another post got me thinking about some of the more interesting uses of English so here are a few examples I've come across from the ethnoworld. Anyone have others?

CELESTIAL TSUNAMI

LIFE’S SUCKY EDGE

CRYSTAL DREAMLETS... DROPS OF REASON IN A POOL OF CONFUSION

TRAVELLING AT THOUGHT SPEED

FIXING HOLES IN THE PSCHOLOGICAL BASEMENT

THE COSMIC CARNIVAL OF THE MIND

SOUL RECYCLING

WE THE DAMAGED GOODS UNRAVELLED FROM OUR MOORINGS

PSYCHIC SURGERY

ONE MAN’S CREATIVITY IS ANOTHERS BRAIN DAMAGE

[Gwydion]

GODSNOT. (think pedro)

I actually have a theory about this one. A prepubescent andean godlet blowing his nose, causing a pillar of dark green to fall, lightning-like to earth. On the way it dries/freezes. Then we come along, chop it up and mix it with water again.

The only other thing I can think of is a much-repeated phrase (american-esque accent):

"Hold ON to your brain; it´s slipping off like a HAT on a WINDY DAY!!!"

[doklikit]

or its as active as a monkey on roller blades juggling razors in a hurricane.

So I'll just leave these behind.Arghhhhh!!

Who demands to see the breasts of his wife

for the one last time is the greatest poet who ever lived.”
