  6. I was in a class recently where someone took umbrage to an analogy being made between human behaviour and animal behaviour. They considered it dehumanizing, but I don’t necessarily see it that way. Humans are a sort of animal, and nonhuman animals are our relations. I think it says something about how people perceive animals if they think any comparison to them must be derogatory.

    My spirit name and my clan are animals. I am grateful for these.

    On the flip side, pigs didn’t do anything to deserve being compared to cops. #animals #insults #comparisons #FiguresOfSpeech #dehumanization

  11. When people say "It's all kinds of hot and muggy out there.", exactly how many kinds are there? Are they sure there are a finite number? How do they know?

  16. My doodlebugs are a small painting series within a larger series I've titled Figures Of Speech and my email newsletter tells what inspired the doodlebugs (hint: it's wordplay based on a scientific phrase). My one-person fine art exhibit will be in June/July at Burnt Bridge Cellars @burntbridgecellars in Vancouver WA and is facilitated by Caplan Art Designs @caplanartdesigns
    Anyhoo, here are the featured bugs... and the tracks they left 👇

  20. #Rhetoric #Figuresofspeech. There must be a name for the figure of speech in which an orator expresses his reluctance to say something ("it will be unpleasant to so many") etc., then with pseudo-reluctance ("the need to be honest with you good people impels me...") and finally comes out with it. Anyone have the name?
