Project Syndicate — Who's Afraid of Fiscal Policy?
Hey Ralph leave him alone he’s trying to prevent an “explosion!”
“Stanford University’s John B. Taylor, however, says the US government must undertake a gradual fiscal consolidation to prevent the federal budget deficit and debt from exploding.”
More figurative language from the art degree morons...
I’ll add “explosion” to the list... I think that puts you guys up to 7 things now....
Looks like Jabberwocky might not be technically figurative language.. but even so I dont see a lot of Jabberwocky typically used by the Art degree crowd in their ersatz explanations.. they typically stick to pure figurative language.. myth, metaphors, analogies, etc..
Anything but Science and Math lol!
"The poem Jabberwocky actually does not have any similes, per se, but it does have a metaphor in it (Yes, only one).
In the 3rd line of the 4th verse, it says "the Jabberwock, with eyes of flame." I consider this a metaphor because I highly doubt the Jabberwock's eyes are on fire, so... It's a metaphor. Considering the absolute craziness of the rest of the poem, I could be wrong.
The poem is mostly nouns and verbs and such, so there actually isn't very much figurative language if you just read it directly."
I had a look at John B Taylor’s ideas on “fiscal consolidation” mentioned in the Project Syndicate article: that’s in this article of Taylor’s:

Taylor's article really is the most God awful load of nonsense. I’ll do an article on my blog in a day to two taking the p*ss out of it.
Plus I left a comment after the Project Syndicate article.

ReplyDelete“I'll keep adding them as they come up here”
ReplyDeleteYou should keep adding to the ascribing list. That would be good for the mental health for you and us.
Bob slow down I cant type that fast!!!
ReplyDeleteAlso, some of those might be Jabberwockies.... I dont know if Jabberwocky technically qualifies as figurative language...
I'll look into it...

Matt’s hacking in linguistics again. Perhaps there’s deep envy toward those in that area too.
