In all actuality, we didn't have a disagreement but Will likes to tease me about a certain something that I say sometimes. You know those padded, fabric things that protect your hands from getting burnt? What would you call those things?
Hot pads?
Pot holders?
Or how about hot pad holders?
That third one - that's the one I use because I like to cover all my bases when it comes to dangerous things. Or, I suppose, when it comes to respecting the very things (in this case, hot pad holders AKA pot holders/hot pads) that protect me from dangerous things. It's like when a King is called the Anointed King of Wisdom and Glory over His Great Land.
Redundant and slightly incomprehensible? Yes.
Awe-inducing and captivating? Yes again!
Just like Hot Pad Holders, the Pads that Protect My Hands From Holding Things. Or, as Will keeps chiding, Holders for the Pads that are Hot.
P.S. Google Images validates me by providing images of "hot pad holders." Will reminds me that just because you can find things on the internet doesn't make it legit.
I'm afriad I'm with Will on this one. But maybe you can blame it on your upbringing. Ben often says he's going to "de-thaw" something. I say this technically means "freeze", but he doesn't listen. Those crazy Fishers....
ReplyDeleteNo, Hot Pad Holders is different from De-Thaw. De-thaw is just inaccurate, whereas Hot Pad Holders is just awesomely redundant. (The phrase increases in joyful funness if you introduce punctuation. Is it Hot Pad-holders? or Hot-pad holders, or Hot, Pad, Holders? or Hot Pad! Holders?) See, more fun.)
