Well, well... Klan members. I thought maybe we should try to have fun playing with words...to write here funny expressions we invent, read or hear somewhere! Any other suggestions? let's make a crazy linguistic thread here! First example : carpe diem paciently!

How about a palindrome? Rats live on no evil star And here's a one-worded one in Finnish: saippuakivikauppias ("soap stone seller"... am I correct?)

Don't know if red rum is murder, but the absence of it sure is! I remember a couple in Russian: Аргентина манит негра а в Енисее синева "Too hungry and nine" is fine, but what will they say when... it's two-thousand-ten? ;D

One time my friend said something that rhymed by accident. I said, " hey, that rhymed". He said absent-mindedly, "haha I'm a poet and I didn't even know it". Then he looked at me in silence and bonked his head on the table. It's one thing to come up with accidental rhyme, but to do it twice in a row! ;D

So I'm not the only one who thought of that one...
You know, as often as I try to read "Critique of Pure Reason", I just Kant get into it.
p.s. If Kant was running for President instead of Obama... "Yes We Kant!"

I found this one last night (in romanian sounds really kewl): ,, you can look clever without being one for true, only if you're not stupid..." And sth I uttered today in a presentation after reading some of the posts here: Marconi was a drinking Italian engineer (l used drinking instead of electric ). I was the first bursting into laughter and the assembly joined me..

Shall we perhaps talk in verse? Thoughts may not be so quick to disperse; Yet when i log in this forum, There's a sense of decorum And the tongue really wants to converse
