It’s a short step from…

• “sparing someone’s feelings” to “bullshit” (No really, you look fine)
• “desire” to “disappointment” (I wanna swing!!!)
• “insurance” to “frustration” (WHAT exclusion clause?)
• “death” to “taxes” (well, estate duties, at any rate)
• “expressing yourself” to “whining” (She loves me, she loves me not…)
• “writing” to “criticism” (no, I’m not talking about you, okay?)
• “an opinion” to “intolerance” (ditto)
• “taking an interest” to “stalking” (Yes, I am talking about you)
• “a viewpoint” to “insult” (see “sparing someone’s feelings”, above)
• “a matter of principle” to “poverty” (it’s cheaper to suck it up, baby)
• “I do” to “I don’t” (not that I’m cynical or anything)
• “having kids” to “alcoholism” (“crushed spirit” also works here)
• “marketing” to “spam” (I think I have enough Viagra, thank you)
• “work” to “boredom” (you’re reading this aren’t you?)
• “meetings” to “heavy eyelids” (am I dead yet?)
• “work avoidance behaviour” to “blogging” (it’s only fair, in view of the above, don’t you think?)

…and so forth. Do feel free to join in – it’s fun (and you can do it in meetings, too)
