Weird Wordy Wordishness
LadyPatsFan and I were talking recently, I don't remember what about. Somewhere along the line an inanimate object was referred to as "her". And then, LadyPatsFan tried to say, "Don't you like how I anthropomorphise things?"
Emphasis on "tried". It came out more like, "Don't you like how I anthra... anthro... mah... um... anther... porpoise..."I laughed and tried to help her out, but I really can't quite pronouce that word either. The two of us sounded like we were trying to win a spitting contest.
"Anthra... Anter-poh-moes... Ant-Roh-Mama..."
![Some days I wonder, what *is* my porpoise in li...[SLAP!] Ow...](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWZ8Tt7P3sLQgS0fORpk7EF2Pl3u90svD-IurRxdChjoYQu-JRlPHbTM_UXb2ucWilsN8ghrvA4-d3O8sBETR3XKdtRtxIa7FgTVDI2ndsjZrHVbrwduNmv-L0kRRhzxPIe07T3Q/s320/porcupine.jpg "Some days I wonder, what *is* my porpoise in li...[SLAP!] Ow...")
Inspiration struck. "Auntie Porcupine!" I shouted.Without missing a beat, LadyPatsFan said, "Yeah, don't you like how I porcupine'd it?"
Language is easy when you don't really care. :)

LOL
I'm sure it's obvious, but this story was pretty much aimed right at you, iCanSpell. :) Glad you liked it.
I'm noticing that I appear in your blog nearly as often as my own. I am not sure if I am flattered or insulted.
What's even sadder is that there was no comedic exaggeration needed in this one.
I've often found that people who make regular blog appearances rarely need comedic exaggeration. :)
Blog word - shazam
