Let’s start with a quiz today. What do you think the following equation yields?
excess + talk
a. headache, earache
b. gossip
c. insincerity
d. digression
While you think about it, I’ll share some photos from my recent trip to New Zealand (so as to block the answer).
The Japanese writing is fuzzy. But you can blame any fuzziness on the millions of New Zealand sheep. The sign says this:キウィ・サウス (Kiui Sausu: Kiwi South)
羊の国のセーター (hitsuji no kuni no sētā:
knitwear) sheep + countryI love how “knitwear” turns into “sheep country sweaters”!
