Lexophilia - Friday Fun

 

Do you know what Lexophilia means?  I had forgotten what it was until one of my clients sent me the email below ( Thanks Tom & Ida)! Kind of fun playing with words - in a twisted kind of way! I've had such a busy couple of weeks I've not had time to post in BananaTude. I miss all you guys and gals. I'll be back over the weekend!

 

Since it's Friday I had to share it will all of you - just for fun!  Enjoy!

 

 

 

"Lexophile" is a word used to describe those that have a love for words, such as "you can tune a piano, but you can't tuna fish", or "to write with a broken pencil is pointless." A competition to see who can come up with the best lexophiles is held every year in an undisclosed location.
 

 

This year's winning submission is posted at the very end.
 
.. When fish are in schools, they sometimes take debate.

.. A thief who stole a calendar got twelve months.

.. When the smog lifts in Los Angeles U.C.L.A.

.. The batteries were given out free of charge.

.. A dentist and a manicurist married. They fought tooth and nail.

.. A will is a dead giveaway.

.. With her marriage, she got a new name and a dress.

.. A boiled egg is hard to beat.

.. When you've seen one shopping center you've seen a mall.

.. Police were summoned to a daycare center where a three-year-old was resisting a rest.

.. Did you hear about the fellow whose entire left side was cut off? He's all right now.

.. A bicycle can't stand alone; it's just two tired.

.. When a clock is hungry it goes back four seconds.

.. The guy who fell onto an upholstery machine is now fully recovered.

.. He had a photographic memory which was never developed.

.. When she saw her first strands of grey hair she thought she'd dye.

.. Acupuncture is a jab well done. That's the point of it.
 
      And the cream of the twisted crop:

.. Those who get too big for their pants will be totally exposed in the end.
 


 

ALWAYS LAUGH WHEN YOU CAN ... IT'S CHEAP MEDICINE!

Thank you for inviting us to Lexophilia - I do love wordplay and btw, the one about the bike is great but the one about the gray hairs is too close to home!

AB, I love this sort of wordplay, I just never knew there was a word for it! I'm adding Lexophilia to my vocabulary, although if you said to someone that you're practicing Lexophilia--they might get the wrong impression!
