How do you call these little pictures we see everywhere?

I just forget how they are called...someone please help me

thank you

I challenge you not just to create a limerick, but to write it specifically about any one of the following individuals/topics:

1- Hillary Clinton

2- What's in your purse/wallet right now.

3- Another person on YA (in fun only. Please be humane or your answer will be deleted. If you feel nasty, take the first topic..heh)

4- A typical family get together at your house.

What is it called when your around someone who says the same thing all the time, and you start saying it too.
Example..If I hear ‘right right’ or ‘exactly’ or ‘sure’..OR ‘I appreciate it” I know I will roll my eyes until they get stuck.
I know it’s a word for it, but I can’t think of it…

I wonder if you can help clear up an argument I am having with my other half.

I asked him: "What difference does it make?"
And he said "It doesn't make none"

I said that this was a 'double negative' and really it means that id DOES make a difference, ie, two negatives = a positive. I have looked at websites that agree with me that 'none' is a negaive word, but what do you think? Who is right?

PS I know this is petty but its annoying me. Thanks in advance.

I mean, where are they welcomed? How did this term even originate and most importantly WHY???

I was just thinking about it out of boredom, i guess.

It will be a piece of cake if you are a native English speaker.


Q1. What happened to the building?
(A) It was destroyed.
(B) It had structural improvements.


Q2. Where is the hotel likely to be located?
(A) On the hill
(B) On land

What do you think of the answers to the two questions above?
Can you briefly explain why you chose them for the answers?

My sister was so modest that she "played down" the importance of the award she recieved for saving an injured cat. ("Played down" is the idiom.) Thanks.

I've been planning a vacation and this question seemingly popped into my mind.

Does it have to do with Germania? But then why did we use Germania? I know why the French and Spanish use Allemagne/Alemania.

I just thought about the word today. If you put Alpha and Beta together and then take away the 'a' on the end of Beta, it makes the word alphabet. That would make sense if it was true because those are letters in their alphabet and if the Greek were trying to find a name for the list of letters and they just put the first two letters together and got alphabet.
