Word Play and Other Auspicious Ways

 

The Earth is endowed with an Equator.


Surrounding its circumference at the middle,


it was constructed that way.



The broker sells investments which in certain


circles could be said is his or her stock and trade.



A good play on words is always appreciated


by those who count themselves among the


esteemed purveyors in the lexicon of words.



Does Thomas Fuller's 1732 proverb, a


stitch in time saves nine, still apply today?



Careful, what you say, a slip between the cup


and the lip may come home to haunt you.



Does, take it or leave it, sound more like an offer


or a threat to you?



I always thought it would be cool to circumnavigate


the Globe. Circumnavigate is one of those words which


seems to roll off the tongue. Besides, at cocktail parties,


it impresses the ladies.



Pardon Me? Would You Happen To Have Any Grey Poupon?
