Please send me your phrase terns. I’d like to feather my nest.

their cousins, the plentiful puns and adroit malapropisms. They prey on hackneyed collections of words, twisting them to delicious morsels to make our world both more absurd and digestible.

Phrase terns.

They gather amongst the C birds, a cacophony coming from the crap-covered crags of cove, so much like the words in which we struggle not to drown.
