Verbal Abuse
“It’s not a - ‘SAFETY’ deposit box...it’s a - ‘SAFE’ deposit box,” I snarled!
“And it isn’t - water ‘UNDER THE BRIDGE’...it’s - water ‘OVER THE DAM’!
And - ‘I COULDcare less’ is backwards, dude...it’s - ‘I COULDN’T care less’
that’s right…and if I seem a tad upset...it’s because I *******’ AM!”
Totally mangled phrases - like the three I’ve pointed out - are spewed from
even scholars’ lips who’ve never thought them through,
And the next time some damn imbecile - who hasn’t learned the difference
yet - comes along and - breaks the rules...here’s what you should do!
Grab him by his...you-know-whats...(with broads, their throats will do)…
and make them understand that if you catch them “boogering terms”
That any fool with half-a-brain would know they’d gotten wrong...
they’ll wind up in a cemetery - sleepin’ with the worms!
