TYPOS OF TRUTH
I suspect I will never know.
Were the authors thinking of two things at once? Did they just hit the wrong key? Or were they consciously making a statement?
This collection is what I call TYPOS OF TRUTH, since there could be a message to the “misclue.”
1. Bruce Springsheen: It IS hard work for anyone, but consider the Boss’ age!
2. Califormula:
(a) Guaranteed method to squander the purportedly-limitless resources of the area formerly known as Golden State;
(b) having unlimited budget…then exceeding it.
3. Collateralized Death Obligations: Unregulated financial derivatives.
4. Credit Default Swamps: Enough said.
5. City Hell: Where they employ people who failed the personality test at DMV?
6. Lotigation: There are far too many lawsuits.
7. Pepto Bizmal: needed to solve work-related heartburn. Or gas.
8. Science friction: Well, sure. It’s always uncomfortable to try refuting FACTS.
9. St. Lousi: Probably a comment on the Cardinals.
But no good can possibly come from my comments. I’ll refrain.
10. Stupuvrerision: I cannot tell from this comment on Facebook.
Was it STUPIDvision, STUPORvision or something else?
The context was:
All ladies’ shoe shopping s/b UNstupervized.
Both are appropriate connotations.
BONUS “Typo of Truth:”
11. White Knife: Purported savior of auto manufacturers. Must cut out unproductive activities, plants, brands and models. People, too.
