When kids learn English, they aren’t always clear on the meaning of words. Does a sign lettered Off-ice refer to a room near the ice house? As adults, we can appreciate the connection of familiar words to unexpected meanings.
Frank has a large collection of such words, and he’s constantly adding more. Here are a few of his own making, which he posted recently to the website:
- Polaroids — What Arctic bears get from sitting on ice too long
- Liability — Unique talent in using deceptive words
- Game Crossing — Going directly to jail, not allowed to pass “Go” and collect $200.00
- Thesaurus — A large word-eating dinosaur
- Apologetics — The ongoing need to say we’re sorry
- Correction Facility — Where journalism students learn to do editing
- Moving Violation — Leaving without paying rent
