I was thinking about words that people sometimes use in writing, but they would be unlikely to use in speaking.
One of those is "crowing" - saying that a person was boasting, or bragging, being smug, and calling it "crowing." And another is "trumpeting," which means the same thing.
Like - "he was crowing about having beaten the rap." Or - "the institution investigated itself, and then trumpeted that there had been no wrong-doing."
Now, I doubt the person was supposed to have made a sound like an actual rooster crowing - "er-er-ER-er-ERRR!!"
And did the institution's spokesperson really trumpet?
Was that press release - seriously - trumpeting?
Is that trumpeting?
(elephants: "Hold our beer.")
-------------------------- And in today's headlines - What The Heck?? You know the music group Hall & Oates? Apparently Hall is suing Oates, and has also put a restraining order against him.
Yikes.
That isn't very harmonious or melodious.
Their songs: the first one I think of is "Rich Girl."
♪ ♫ -- and you've gone too far
'Cause you know it don't matter anyway...
internet comments:
~ That's unfortunate. P.S. Their songs are timeless.
~ What?
~ Exactly my reaction.
I love Hall & Oates. Such great music.
I can't believe things are so bad between them that a restraining order is needed? That's crazy.
~ Dawg. I thought 2020 was one for the ages... 2023 is ending in a shebang
~ Private Eyes are watching you. They see your every move.
~ Oh no, I can't go for this. Hall and Oates need to get it together
~ Right?! I mean, D*MN!
Hall & Oates stay on my playlist.
~ Wow well this sucks. I love their music
~ I sure as hell didn't have this on my bingo card
