Oops!!! Because I’m suffering from Blursday Syndrome and forgot to post Funny Friday, here’s one for Silly Saturday. The fact that “hemorrhoids aren’t called “asteroids” is a major missed opportunity for science, health, and the English language. #thelanguagenerds #humor #wordplay

when you actually pause for a second and think about what some expressions literally mean, you’d be surprised how you didn’t notice that before. The words that we use every day are so full of joy and wonder and a lot of fun if taken out of context and played with. And that’s what <strong>Keren Rosen</strong> did. Karen is an Israel-based graphic designer who loves to play with words and put them in humorous illustrations to show their double meanings. For her last project, she went after idioms and everyday expressions to illustrate their literal meanings and the result is a funny batch of witty and funny illustrations that make you both laugh and wonder about the craziness of the English language.</p><span id="more-6585"></span><hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-dots"/> <script crossorigin="anonymous"
