The W.O.D for Tuesday
|
Hi, it �s me again!!! The WOD game is much fun. It also supplies an excellent opportunity to deal with deeper layers of English.
So, the WOD for today is:
autotonsorialist
What does it mean to be au....st? Is it positive or negative? What do you think???
Pls, without dictionary definitions!
Looking forward to your original and creative ideas.
Sincerely,
Liza.

Auto - car
tonso- tonsils
rialist- (as in materialist)
This is a name given to people like Hannibal Lecter �s brother. He is a tonsorialist--one that holds the theory or attitude that physical well-being and tonsils constitute the greatest good and highest value in life.
He is also a autotonsorialist, because he specializes in collecting his tonsils from victims that constantly exercise their tonsils while driving in cars (that is, they sing in the car).
So be careful that you aren �t caught singing in your car (especially while driving), you may become the victim of an autotonsorialist.
I must admit I have had a number of occasions where I wanted to rip the tonsils out of people I was driving with because of how "beautifully"(sarcasm) they were singing.

I thought that an
autotonsorrialist is a person, who �s got a bad ear for music, therefore he always sings "out of tone", but as soon as he understands from other people �s reactions that his singing is unbearable, he says "I �m sorry". And he �s "autotonsorialist" rather than "outotonsorialist" because that �s the way he pronounces the word. "Bad ear" - remember?
