Not Enough Letters*
:)
Nice thoughts? IDEES
Name on a compact ESTEE [not a car as I had first thought]
Helpless, in a way ALONE
Mini exhibits? KNEES
Shoot the breeze, e.g. IDIOM [yesterday we had IDIOMATIC for a different idiom]
Radio-active sort? CBER [note hyphen]
:(
Self-destruct IMPLODE [In the same way explosion does not denote self-destruction, implode doesn’t, but rather to be crushed from outside.
*In my reactionary world, TMI is BS --- I don’t text, but if I did, would I ever need that abbreviation? TMI sounds like the writers of 30 Rock trying to be hip. (See Edd “Kookie†Byrnes of the 50’s TV show 77 Sunset Strip --- inane abbreviations were lame then --- to a thirteen-year-old.)
RATING: ;D ;D
Three grins = Excellent: Loved it; Two grins = Good: Enjoyed it; One grin = Satisfactory: A bit bland for my taste; One teardrop = Unsatisfying: No fun
