When life hands you lemon-ology 0 Comments | Previous | Top | Next By: Lauren, on 5/6/2011 Blog: OUPblog (Login to Add to MyJacketFlap) JacketFlap tags:  *Featured, Lexicography & Language, s&m, saying, when life hands you lemons, boobs, funny, twitter, Leisure, mark peters, cliche, LOL, lemons, lemonade, lemon, Add a tag Tweet By Mark Peters If I had a lemon for every time I heard “When life hands you lemons, make lemonade,” I’d have enough lemons to open a lemons-only Wal-Mart. If I had another lemon for every time I heard a variation like, “When life hands you lemons, run straight home and hide them because the apocalypse is upon us and soon everyone will want them,” I’d have an absolute monopoly on the lemon market, fulfilling my boyhood dreams. This expression and its variations are everywhere, nowhere more so than on Twitter, the richest source of jokes and un-self-conscious language use we have at the moment. For the month of April, I collected the many mutations of this idiom to look for patterns among the proverbs. Thousands of lemon-y tweets prove this isn’t just a cliché or a snowclone: lemon-ology consists of clichés within clichés, snowclones within snowclones—and every once in awhile, a burst of originality. Here’s a look at the lemon landscape. First, some lemon history. In Fred Shapiro’s wonderful Yale Book of Quotations, he spots the first example of “If life hands you lemons, make lemonade” on Oct. 4, 1972 in the Dallas Morning News. But he finds this line in 1917: “If life hands you a lemon adjust your rose colored glasses and start to selling pink lemonade.” Sure enough, the Oxford English Dictionary shows handing someone a lemon has meant “to pass off a sub-standard article as good; to swindle (a person), to do (someone) down” since at least 1906. Over a hundred years later, one of the most common forms of lemon subversion basically says, “Screw lemonade. How about some booze?” The alcohol-related suggestions all involve using the lemons in some kind of drink, like so: “When life hands you lemons find some vodka and make margaritas!” Hundreds of tweets are almost identical, though the booze-soaked suggestions do get a little more creative: “When life hands you lemons, have a tequila shot…errr crap, can’t for a week, darn antibiotics!” Other distortions use the lemon juice not as an alcohol-enhancer but as a potential torture device, as in “If life hands you lemons, find an annoying guy with paper-cuts and make it worthwhile.” Here’s a more self-serving, self-abusing approach: “When life hands you lemons, squirt one in your eye and go on disability. Then sue the guy that grew them. He’s got insurance for that!” And here’s one for the S&M crowd: “When life hands me lemons, I put on my leathers and squeeze the juice into the eyes of the man hogtied & ballgagged in my closet.” Violent variations go far beyond the painful properties of lemon juice. Various tweeters say you should take the lemons and “throw them at hobos,” “hurl them at a random CEO,” “freeze them so they can knock people unconscious,” “open a lemon aide stand and use the proceeds to buy an assault rifle,” “put them in a tube sock and beat a hipster over the head with it,” “whip them at those dumb jerk kids who set up lemonade stands to show them how you feel about their price gouging,” or “shove them down the bastard’s throat and laugh maniacally as he chokes to death.” I kinda like the bluntness h 0 Comments on When life hands you lemon-ology as of 1/1/1900 Add a Comment More from this Blog | Email This | Add a Tag 9.

A literal paradox: “literally” generally means ‘figuratively’ 0 Comments | Previous | Top | Next By: Lauren, on 10/29/2010 Blog: OUPblog (Login to Add to MyJacketFlap) JacketFlap tags:  language, Lexicography, Featured, pet peeve, LOL, phrases, Dennis Baron, A Better Pencil, colloqualisms, literally, Add a tag Tweet By Dennis Baron The English language is full of paradoxes, like the fact that “literally” pretty much always means ‘figuratively.’ Other words mean their opposites as well–”scan” means both ‘read closely’ and ’skim.’ “Restive” originally meant ’standing still’ but now it often means ‘antsy.’ “Dust” can mean ‘to sprinkle with dust’ and ‘to remove the dust from something.’ “Oversight” means both looking closely at something and ignoring it. “Sanction” sometimes means ‘forbid,’ sometimes, ‘allow.’ And then there’s “ravel,” which means ‘ravel, or tangle’ as well as its opposite, ‘unravel,’ as when Macbeth evokes “Sleepe that knits up the rauel’d Sleeue of Care.” No one objects to these paradoxes. But if you say “I literally jumped out of my skin,” critics will jump on your lack of literacy. Their insistence that literally can only mean, well, ‘literally,’ ignores the fact that word has meant ‘figuratively’ for centuries. If you’re tempted to correct someone’s figurative use of literally, remember, nobody likes a smartass. (courtesy of XKCD) The English language is full of paradoxes, like the fact that “literally” pretty much always means “figuratively.

But if you say “I literally jumped out of my skin,” critics will jump on your lack of literacy. Their insistence that literally can only mean, well, ‘literally,’ ignores the fact that word has meant ‘figuratively’ for centuries. The literal meaning of literally, which enters English around 1584 at a time when the vocabulary was really exploding, is ‘by the letters.’ The word comes from Latin littera, which means ‘letter,’ as in the letters of the alphabet, so writing something out literally meant writing it letter by letter. But by 1646 literally had developed its first extended sense, ‘word for word.’ A literal translation is one done word for word, not letter by letter. And by the 19th century Byron uses literally to mean something even more general, ‘a faithful rendering.’ His poem “Churchill’s Grave, a fact literally rendered” (1813) may be a faithful rendering of what Byron saw when he visited the poet Charles Churchill’s grave, but its use of literally is undeniably figurative. This sense of ‘faithful rendering’ is what people who insist on a literal reading of sacred texts or the constitution mean: it’s a figurative use of literal to mean ‘faithful to the original intent,’ assuming such intent can ever be determined.

How I found out about this book: I'd been following the author on Twitter for quite some time because of The Story Siren's 2010 Debut Author Challenge. The book finally came out, and when I listened to the Audible snippet I couldn't help but download it. No regrets! My review: I haven't laughed this hard since Beth Fantaskey's Jessica's Guide to Dating on the Dark Side. I totally thought Evie's snarky, squee-laden and sugary Valley Girl voice would get on my nerves eventually, but reader Emily Eiden does a great job of making her adorable instead of annoying. I just about fell over laughing whenever she uttered a delighted, disbelieving "SHUT UP!" when pleasantly surprised by something. Normally so much awesome, lame, cool, etc. slang interjected into the dialogue would drive me insane, but I can't blame Evie for this--after all, everything that she knows about being a normal teenager she learned from a televised teen drama called Easton Heights. (Not a real show. :D ) I loved so much about this book: apart from the reader's voice and surprisingly adorable main character, White writes a pretty good mythology (with one but--I thought faeries weren't supposed to have souls? hmm), a nifty plot, engaging side characters (like watery boy-toy Lend and B.F.F.* Lish), and a fun romance. I couldn't put [my iPod] down. It isn't all fun and games, either--the mystery deepens halfway through and Evie's world starts falling apart... and whenever she thinks about it, she finds herself to blame. She goes through just the right amount of character development for a flighty, feisty teenaged girl. * I keep thinking of Lish as a Best Fish Forever--she is a mermaid, after all. I was also really surprised at how accepting I was of Evie's lack of humility: as in, she is really hot, and she'll tell you so! but I think since so many of teen characters are written as either great-looking good guys with poor self esteem or good-looking bad guys with poor morals, that Evie was such a refreshingly frank character when it came to her a 0 Comments on Paranormalcy - Review as of 9/4/2010 1:43:00 AM Add a Comment More from this Blog | Email This | Add a Tag 12. Monthly Gleanings: March 2010 0 Comments | Previous | Top | Next By: Rebecca, on 3/31/2010 Blog: OUPblog (Login to Add to MyJacketFlap) JacketFlap tags:  Reference, A-Featured, Oxford Etymologist, Lexicography, Dictionaries, word origins, it, etymology, anatoly liberman, LOL, they, gleanings, Buzzword, eena meena, ginormous, nincompoop, Add a tag By Anatoly Liberman LOL and the wide world. Many thanks for the interesting comments, questions, and antedatings! Here comes the first spring set of gleanings. In a story, supposed to be funny, a boy who did not speak until he was six years old suddenly said at dinner: “Too much salt in the soup.” The family was overjoyed, and everybody asked: “Why have you not spoken before?” “So far, I had nothing to complain about,” was the answer. My mail is not too heavy, apparently because I seldom irritate our readers. But last month I applied the epithet short-lived to LOL, the king/queen of texting, and immediately three comments assured me that LOL is very much alive. I stand corrected and hasten to express my joy about the longevity of such a serviceable “word,” the more so as I have studied the history of laughter, and every expression of it, especially when it is unconcealed and loud, warms the cockles of my heart. Generic they, a permanent irritant. This is an old hat. At one time, I launched a quixotic attack on sentences like when a student comes, I never make them wait and if a tenant is evicted, it does not mean they were a bad tenant. I contended that such sentences owe their existence to a misguided attempt to get rid of generic he and that the remedy was worse than the disease. Let it be repeated that I did not defend him or her and in general did not say anything outrageous, but my taunt brought forth numerous responses. Some people said that constructions of this type had been used since the days of King Alfred, Chaucer, Fielding, Thackeray, and many other illustrious authors who lived before the-mid seventies of the 20th century (the chronological span is a bit disconcerting). Almost nothing of any interest has been found, and certainly no monstrosities like those I quoted in my post turned up in any old book, for the antecedent has invariably been someone, no one, a person, and so forth. However, every now and then I receive letters purporting to prove me wrong. Here is an example dated 1909: “I don’t want to be a lady… they can’t ever ride straddle nor climb a tree, and they got to squinch their waists and toes.” (Frances Boyd Calhoun, Miss Minerva and William Green Hill; I have no page reference). This is a far cry from the expectant student and the hapless tenant mentioned above. There was no way to avoid they here except for repeating the noun (I don’t want to be a lady. Ladies…). I can say something like it about anything. “No, not a marker. They leave traces on my hands” or “Is this only a mouse? I am not afraid of them.” But they were not a bad tenant? Give me a break! More about pronouns: “You are It.” I received a question about the origin of it in children’s games. Much to my disappointment, not a single citation has been found in my database (which now exists as A Bibliography of English Etymology). This means that in over 20,000 articles and notes I have read while compiling this bibliography, no one mentioned the history of it even in a perfunctory way. The editors of the OED seem to have run into a similar problem. In the original edition, it (in games) is not mentioned at all. In the First Supplement a few examples appeared, none of them antedating 1888. Later an 1842 example was dug up. The most amazing thing is how late those examples are. Should we assume that it in the games of tag and blindman’s buff did not exist before roughly the middle of the 19th century? This would be a startling assum 0 Comments on Monthly Gleanings: March 2010 as of 1/1/1900 Add a Comment More from this Blog | Email This | Add a Tag 13.

The kids are enjoying an instant vacation with "Silly Sottile." What's an instant vacation? Milton Berle said that “Laugher is an instant vacation.” I think he’s right. And according to www.SimpleTruths.com, we need to laugh at least 12 times a day to remain healthy. Here are a few laughs from one of their clever books, Laughter Is An Instant Vacation… “Insanity doesn’t run In my family. It gallops.” –Cary Grant As a parent, my wife and I have one thing in common. We’re both afraid of our children.”—Bill Cosy “I am not going to vacuum until Sears has one tha I can ride.”—Roseanne Barr “Guests, like fish begin to smell after three days.”—Ben Franklin “All mothers have intuition.

This enterprising polar bear seems to have discovered a new source of nom-noms if he can just figure out how to get to them! Amazing Drinking Bird Image source The bird that never stops drinking. When I was a pre-teen I had a clear plastic bird that drank from a cup of water. You wet its beak and position it in front of a cup of water, and it did the rest. Science-theme toy shops had these. The colored water (which contains ether) would rise up the clear neck of the bird and cause it to tip forward and come into contact with the cup, as if drinking. The wetting of the beak caused the fluid to rise, tip over and the bird returned to the upright formal position to repeat itself endlessly. Because of the ether used inside of the glass bird (ether is flammable) these are not considered toys but are science tools. It is like a relative humidity indicator.

This would make a kewl Halloween costume even if it isn’t very comfortable to wear.  She’s Dating Who? Image source This reminds me of lyrics from the Joe Jackson song “Is she really going out with him?” The lyrics continue with “…for if my eyes don’t deceive me there’s something going wrong around here!” The Joe Jackson song came out in Sept. 1978 and was the feature track on the album called “Look sharp!” which debuted the following year. Swedish pop star duo “Roxette” breakthrough album also named “Look Sharp!” which came out in June of 1988 but that was a coincidence of naming the albums. Evil Trees in the Park Image source Have you ever felt that some trees are evil? This one I have no doubt about it. What are You Going to Dress-up as for Halloween? Image source I have friends that dress-up their pets for Halloween. The most-oft seen costume for dogs is of course, a hot dog. Another favorite is a body suit with large dinosaur scales and plates along its spine and spiky tail. –It’s …Dogzilla! Run, – Dogzilla! Just Washed Your Hare? Image source Washing one’s hair does this, it gets all poofy. Blow-drying just makes it worse. Rabbits can make a good pet but there are misconceptions about rabbits as pets. One is that they are low maintenance. This is not true; they require a certain amount of commitment and expense. Did you know that rabbits can be litter-trained just like cats? They are in fact, better at being litter-trained than ferrets which I know first-hand, is a chore. Ferrets occasionally ‘forget’ to use the litter box. Read about rabbit myths and decide for yourself. Pets Must Wear a Collar But…   Image source Poor kitteh! -Must wear collars. Some larger cities in Canada like Edmonton, Alberta in an effort to prevent pet homelessness have mandated that cats must wear collars with a City-issued license tag or be permanently marked with a tattoo or microchip. Licensing is cheap, but having an unlicensed dog or cat can be a $250.00 fine so, get used to that collar, kitteh! You Wanna Go for a Ride? Image Source This reminds me of a visit to my brother-in-law’s homestead in Missouri. I was on vacation and during the day while they were at work, I did yard work for them. Cutting firewood, burning leaves tree stumps, mulching their garden, etc. I was a filthy mess at the end of the day when they came home. I needed a shower and clean clothes, seriously. My brother-in-law came down to the end of the yard where I was working and said ‘Hey, d’you want to go for a ride? We’ll go get some fast food.’ I had thought ‘Great! -McDonald’s Drive-thru and come home with it so yeah, I’ll go.’  I rinsed my hands and splashed my face with the garden hose and we all got in their car and, surprise! We drove for nearly two hours to Springfield, MO. to a very large Bass Pro store. I looked like a logger at the end of a workday… covered in dried mud, sweat, ashes and dirt on my shirt, holes in the knees of my pants, -it was embarrassing. Had I known I could have quick-showered and changed into something a little more acceptable for the public setting. But I should have known better because “Hey, you wanna go for a ride?” is a trick question with them and it is the same one they used on the family dog to get him into the car to go to the vet to be neutered! Still, it’s Good to be the Pet Image source Our animal pets really have it good you have to admit. To be fed, cared for and protected. Caption Everything!

Do not take shower rather use deodorants and perfume to avoid public embarrassment. Use the top and the bottom part simultaneously. I mean that eat and excrete simultaneously. However, if you think it is an obnoxious idea, then do reading rather than eating. Brush your teeth while taking bath. While sleeping, wear your shoes, this will save time in morning. If possible, wear your office dress in night. Hire servants who will do everything for you. Wear your clothes while traveling. Buy a car. Finally yet importantly, do not leave your office in evening. Therefore, you will not have to worry about coming back. You might be thinking that these ideas are unrealistic, but the fact is that many people try these ideas more often than anyone can think.
