    I had always found it odd when people say they want to take a shit or take a piss when they actually mean they have to defecate or urinate. Then I came to learn about the polymorphism of take.

        Would that mean then the person doing the sh!tting would give a sh!t?

          Not at all. He added several words to Dr. Johnson's effort though.

            C: Big Blue Wobbly Thing. Cat: Not a dog. I heard somewhere that Dr Johnson's original dictionary really did lack the word sausage, hence the joke.

              Is it good if a vacuum really sucks? Why is the third hand on the watch called the second hand? If a word is misspelled in the dictionary, how would we ever know? If Webster wrote the first dictionary, where did he find the words? Why do we say something is out of whack? What is a whack? Why does "slow down" and "slow up" mean the same thing? Why does "fat chance" and "slim chance" mean the same thing? Why do "tug" boats push their barges? Why do we sing "Take me out to the ball game" when we are already there? Why are they called "stands" when they are made for sitting? Why is it called "after dark" when it really is "after light"? Doesn't "expecting the unexpected" make the unexpected expected? Why are a "wise man" and a "wise guy" opposites? Why do "overlook" and "oversee" mean opposite things? Why is "phonics" not spelled the way it sounds? If work is so terrific, why do they have to pay you to do it? If all the world is a stage, where is the audience sitting? If love is blind, why is lingerie so popular? If you are cross-eyed and have dyslexia, can you read all right? Why is bra singular and panties plural? Why do you press harder on the buttons of a remote control when you know the batteries are dead? Why do we put suits in garment bags and garments in a suitcase? How come abbreviated is such a long word? Why do we wash bath towels? Aren't we clean when we use them? Why doesn't glue stick to the inside of the bottle? Why do they call it a TV set when you only have one? Christmas - What other time of the year do you sit in front of a dead tree and eat candy out of your socks? Why do we drive on a parkway and park on a driveway? Just something to think about on a slow Saturday

                      When you do not know how to spell a word they tell you to look it up in a dictionary. How can you look up a work in a dictionary if you do not know how to spell the word. My favorite dictionary saying is "Great thing a dictionary... if you know how to spell."

                        Ain't that the truth...how many times have I gone to a dictionary and couldn't find a word because I didn't know how to spell it. :)
