Two unanswered questions from the years that nag at me day and night
-- probably explains the panic attacks and the unending prescriptions:
First (two parter)
1) is there a 'specific' name for the type of sentence uses a phrase
and then follows with the same phrase but with two words switched:
"It's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight
in the dog" in order to sound ironic/pithy/litotic/stupid (in the case
of sports casters)?
1A) WHAT IS IT?
2) What are those little strings that are on a banana after you peel
it called? God I hate those!
TTFN (truly trivial for now)
