BOOKS FOR SALE!!! |
A “sushi bar” serves cold boiled rice, formed into small pieces with seaweed and raw seafood. Or perhaps the sushi needs its own beverage counter! A toast (um, a salutation or a concise congratulation, good wishes, or appreciation uttered immediately prior to drinking to a person, not the sliced bread which has been browned by dry heat) to spicy tuna rolls—you are the best! Kampai! Definitions of “sushi bar,” “bar” and “toast” are author’s own.
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. |
