My internet at my apartment was having problems, and we just got a guy out to fix it, so I've been saving up my posts for now. Here we go!
"Them dawgs is hell don't they!"
This line was on a friend's status on Facebook. I thought it was interesting because, depending on the context in which you read it, it could be taken very differently. For example, this was originally part of a status talking about how it was almost football season. When read in that context, my inner voice creates a thick southern accent and I imagine a man with little or no education (or teeth) saying it because he can't create a logical phrase.
However, if we clean it up just a little, and say instead:
"Those dogs are hell don't they."
It could be read as poetic genius due to its surprising ending. I'm not sure of anything to put with it, but it's a start.
