Casualwear

Casualwear

I watched my boyfriend stride down the catwalk in tasteful jeans and I found myself frowning. He seemed uncomfortable. He looked... shorter.

The parade of casual-wear continued, and my frown deepened. Each model was shorter than the last; less sculpted, more ordinary. More alike.

And the clothes always seemed to fit perfectly.

At last, they stood in ranks on the stage with identical, calm expressions. My boyfriend had vanished in a row of faces - of the same face repeated, identical.

Horrified, I recalled the title of this year’s summer designs. The catalogue read: "Clothes for the everyman."

Does anyone else get "snatched" by words like "chuckle", where the more you think about the word, the weirder it gets?

Makes me want to start a list.

FYI: chuckle (v.)
1590s, frequentative of M.E. chukken "make a clucking noise" (late 14c.), of echoic origin. It originally meant "noisy laughter." Chucklehead "blockhead" (18c.) is perhaps connected with chuck (v.). Related: Chuckled; chuckling. The noun is recorded from 1750s.

I thought I was the only person on the planet referring to certain people as "chuckleheads"

One of my co-workers calls his kids knuckleheads all the time, but I have been known to throw chuckleheads at appropriate targets.



As for the drabble:
*groan*

Don't get me wrong...that's a happy groan.

No...not like that.

This hole just keeps getting deeper and deeper and...

I should stop now.

You can throw chuckleheads?
I think we just invented a sport

[strawman]

How much head could a chucklehead chuck if a chucklehead could chuck head?
