Why don't the English use the English system any more?

And why do we (that is, the Aussies) use the metric system, but still order a "Pint" of lager?

Why does "pint" have a long "i" when "bint" (as in "dozy bint") has a short "i"?

Why is there no synonym for the word "synonym"?

Why haven't we Americans simplified the spelling of synonym yet?

Do you want to make an attempt?

Can we be content that "synonym" is an antonym of "antonym"?

Is anyone surprised that we're talking about synonyms on an SRD fan site? :lol:

Perhaps we should be talking about metaphors?

What about similes?

Posted: Fri Oct 17, 2014 5:49 pm
by aliantha
Is there any deep significance to the fact that a simile uses the word "like", and one might smile at someone whom one likes?

I just realized - doesn't it sound funny if you say "...that was a metaphor for..."?

If I reply by saying, "Metaphors be with you," would you laugh or want to hurt me?
