At Rackspace we get these great email threads due to an email list designated for “fun” at each core location. One of these such email threads started with a guy asking if any other guys do sewing – and wondering where he could learn to sew on projects that were gender-neutral? He wasn’t going to make a purse, after all, he needed to hem pants and wondered about suit making. The best part of the thread was when he invented a term, fabric welding, to see if he could get more interest that way. It was a fabulous turn of phrase, though I don’t know if it garnered more interest.
I was so tickled by the term “fabric welding” that I had to blog about it during this week, Halloween week, the week of costumes. What turn of phrase have you heard lately? My second-grader read the phrase “love to hate” the other day and it made him chuckle. Here he is with his fabric-welded Link hat, fabric-welded elf ears, wooden Deku shield, ready for an adventure.
Happy Halloweenie!
