Even before I signed in today, I knew you were mistakened;
telescope
refers to the concept you’re trying to convey concerning my skill at discerning what you’re thinking.
That’s close, but not qute. telepathy is when you use your mind to move objects.
Your mind must be playing tricks. telekinesis was that bald actor who played Kojak on TV and was a Bond villain in the movies.
Baby, is there anybody besides me who loves to learn that the truth is the person you have in mind,
Telly Savalas,
really played in the NBA on such teams as the Lakers, Suns, Pistons and Heat?
OK, I’m going to go out on a limb here, because I know nothing about the NBA, but if you’re thinking Samaki Walker, I must point out to you that that is not the first name of a basketball player but of one of the largest islands in Indonesia.
Wow! He played basketball, too? I only remember Sumatra as a great singer and sometime actor.
oh, my, no, no, no!
Sinatra
is a weapon with a long curved blade, often wielded by desert nomads.
I think you are mistaken. Scimitar is a rhetorical device that is often confused with “metaphor.”
But surely Simileis easy or straightforward?
No, simple is a blemish such as might destroy a teenager’s social prospects forever.
You couldn’t be more wrong! A
pimple
is the ideal of all those kids with their rap music! He’s got all his hos workin’ for him, and he sips Cristal while riding around in his blinged-out Escalade!
I do believe you’re confused a
pimp
is what circles around sports stadiums
Perhaps it’s only the one letter you’re misinterpreting, but
pimp
is that guy in Pulp Fiction all leathered up and in chains that Zed and his buddy at the pawn shop went and got out of his box so they could have some fun with Marsellus and Butch. Easy to confuse, I’m sure.
Nono, a blimpis what the loser of a staring contest does first.
You guys really need to see through the haze and engage your powers of observation; it’s clear that a
blink
is a cigar that been hollowed out and filled with marijuana, and which can be smoked in public (somewhat) inconspicuously, especially in front of this crowd.
I think you’ve been smokin’ too much of that wacky weed. Otherwise, you’d know that a blunt is what a batter does when he just taps the ball with his bat.
You obviously don’t watch much baseball because a
bunt
is really a town in England that rymes with the word I wanted to use.
I see that I must tread softly here, else we get into a sticky situation, but a
bunt
is another way of referring to the smallest puppy/kitten/pig/rat in a litter
Since this game is really only recreational and there’s no need for outrage, I’ll quietly and simply offer a mini-reminder that
runts
should specifically be confined to the BBQ section of the SDMB.
