Food lovers are foodies. Wouldn't that make word lovers wordies? You tell me - are you a wordie? What are your favorite expressions, phrases, lines from a song, poem or book?
You know you're a wordie if you thrill at the perfect phrasing of a line in a song. Your heartbeat accelerates when you read a metaphor in a book that couldn't have been put any better. Your toes tingle when someone uses an inventive pun during a conversation.
These are old examples, but they are good ones that set me on my 'wordie' path:
'The future's so bring, I gotta wear shades.'
'Don't say you're easy on me, you're about as easy as a nuclear war.'
'And when you come to cover me with your kisses, fresh like a daisy, chained up in a lion's den.'
And ones I am not loving:
'New York City, Such a beautiful disease.'
'I want your horror, I want your design, 'Cause you are a criminal as long as your mine.'
'We don't buy no drinks at the bar, We pop champagne cuz we got that dough.'
Give yourself one point for every song that you identified. So tell me, what are you liking / not liking these days?
