    Random Ramblings from Lexicon: American Style by Patrick Ragains

    Could anything possible 'be' more subtle than the 'b' in subtle? When a lumber yard closes does it 'slumber'? Isn't steel just asking to be stolen? Is a tiny amount of parsley called 'sparsely'? The rampant use of high fructose corn syrup in this country is truly 'scornful'. Do baseball players in a hitting slump feel terribly 'sluggish'? The ideal word for someone who hates red hats is 'hatred'. If Tommy Smothers strangled his mom he'd be a 'mother-smothering Smothers brother'.
