Oft Repeated Phrases
At the heart of much speculative fiction (and fiction in general) is a question. What if? On Tuesdays I like to throw one out there and see what you make of it. Do with it as you please. If a for-instance is not specified, feel free to interpret that instance as you wish. And if you find this becomes a novel-length answer, I'd appreciate a thank you in the acknowledgements. 😉
OK, so, the other day I noticed how often I preface a story with these words: "a blogger I follow". And it got me thinking...
What if your life was made into a drinking game? What phrase(s) would trigger a drink?

I appreciate your comments.
I respond to comments* via email, unless your profile email is not enabled. Then, I'll reply in the comment thread. Eventually. Probably.
*Exception: I do not respond to "what if?" comments, but I do read them all. Those questions are open to your interpretation, and I don't wish to limit your imagination by what I thought the question was supposed to be.

Can just one word count? If so it would be "cool". A lot of drinks would be taken though......

Awesome. We'd all be drunk in thirty minutes.
ReplyDelete. I mean, it's not a phrase...
ReplyDeleteAt the moment, 'Laurie did...', 'can I change your nappy?', and 'boo-bah'. Hehe.
ReplyDeleteI can see that.
DeleteSince I don't want to drink, a phrase hardly used.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to ask my hubby what word I say the most haha I'm not quite sure!!
ReplyDeleteNow that I've pointed it out, you'll catch yourself saying something over and over and over again.
Delete"Cancer." It's not really a phrase, but I it is uttered so often that at least I could get a good buzz every day.
ReplyDeleteProbably. I'm so sorry that that's true for you. (I was hoping for a much more fun phrase ;)
DeleteSomething to do with papper clutter
ReplyDelete“Sugar, beehive” when I am trying not to swear otherwise, pick a swear word except the one that ends in Tuesday...I despise that word.
ReplyDeleteI don't think I'm familiar with that one ;)
DeleteC U Next Thursday....
DeleteThis is a good one! Let's see: Book.
ReplyDeleteYou say "book" a lot? In this corner of the blogosphere? You don't say?
