Stag Party

A “stag party” is “a social gathering of men only.” Or, it might be an aggregate of “adult male red deer.”

By the way, a “hen party” is a gathering of women only, but “hen” is slang for “a fussy, middle-aged woman.” It is inequity of adages, since a “stag” is a “young, unbroken stallion”!

Definitions of “stag party,” “stag” and “hen” used by Permission from Merriam Webster’s Collegiate® Dictionary, Eleventh Edition © 2007 by Merriam-Webster, Inc. (www.Merriam-Webster.com).

Get Literally Speaking Today!

Literally Speaking and Literally Speaking Too are books which consist of a total of 200 artistic depictions of clichés (expressions we’ve used so much that we take the meaning for granted), idioms (vernacular particular to a geographical region), plays on homophones (using identically-sounding words for their alternate meanings), and/or use of terms ironically (to express something other than the literal meaning). 

The website address is at least a quadruple pun (GetLiterallySpeaking.org): you get it (gain control of the book by picking it up), you get it (you understand it!), you get it (you buy it) and you get literally speaking (as in, you start doing it!).  The website is designed for an ongoing exploration of language and a really good time.
