Never look on the bright side. The glare is blinding.

During the feminist seventies men were caught between a rock and a hard-on in the fathering eighties they are caught between good hugs and bad hugs.

In its purest sense, nicknaming is an elitist ritual practiced by those who cherish hierarchy.

Very is the most useless word in the English language and can always come out. More than useless, it is treacherous because it invariably weakens what it is intended to strengthen. For example, would you rather hear the mincing shallowness of I love you very much or the heart-slamming intensity of I love you?

We worship education but hate learning.
