Words & Wordplay - August 2007

The first 6 people to post ONE phrase that they would like to have listed, will have their phrase listed. ( IT MUST BEGIN WITH THE LETTER "D")
So instead of me making up the phrases.....YOU have a hand in it!!!!
Confused??? You'll see...... It's really quite simple....
After I see the first 6 phrases, I will LIST THEM IN THE ADDED DETAILS.....►THEN,GO BACK TO MY QUESTION , LOOK AT THE PHRASES AND WRITE A LITTLE STORY THAT MUST INCLUDE THOSE 6 PHRASES.
P.S. I WILL NOT ACCEPT BATHROOM HUMOR OR PROFANITY.

Because really, when you think about it, it's really a pretty interesting question. One way it makes sence, the other it doesn't.

What are the rules for using the words 'that' or 'which'?

e.g. I jumped onto a bus 'that' was red

or

I jumped onto a bus 'which' was red

Not sure if that's a very good example but hopefully you'll get the gist.

Possibly the silliest word game ever, try to come up with as many foods or dishes that sound lethal or painful but relate to an actual food such as Ceasar Salad would be Seizure Salad, Chicken Tetrazzini might be Chicken Tetrachloride. Other obvious ones would be Clamp Chowder, I've even accepted really far-fetched stupid ones like for Peking Duck someone once said Rodney King Duck which I did not condone but you know how people are. Just get crazy with it: Nuclear Submarine Sandwich, Welch Drill Bit, Chapped Beef on Toast, are all okay. Gefighting Fish might be pushing it... Nah, it's fine but don't just say "Veal" cause that's cheating. Now I have to go out for awhile, you kids play nice and I want to see lots of delicious and deadly answers when I come back. Thanks!

This might be good in P&S or cooking but I wanted to make sure wow_bill, meng-tzu & brainlady saw it (just to name a few of my brilliant colleagues... and I use that term loosely, but I won't tell you which term.)

I heard this question asked on the radio once and thought it was a stupid question.

Yes, I know that "as we speak, (something happens)" means it is happening in real time. When was it first used? Does it have something to do with early telegraph or radio transmission when people first became aware of "live" broadcast?

I was wondering about what possible conocations can be drawn from the phrase "if and when" or "when and if" as contrasted with a weaker phrase such as "if it happens that..." I found an author (at the link below) who preferred "if it happens that..." but I found this phrase to be unsuitable for my emotional writing style. For one thing, the phrase, "if it happens that..." seems to imply that you don't really care whether something takes place or not.

I would appreciate it if some writers gave me feed back on their thoughts, and how they like to use this phrase in a sentence.
