Question

Headphones are magical things. But are they headphones or earphones? Is there a difference. I guess headphones are for your head and earphones for your ears. What a concept. All I can say is the disco is funky and the cars are driving. So things are what they seem. But if things go as planned, is the plan altered? Who knows. Birds will chirp as they always have. Just remember to stay true to your heart; that is the path of prosperity.

Answer 1

Sooo random....I love it!

Answer 2

headphones are for yoir head, ear phones are for your ears
check out this poem:
There is no egg in eggplant, nor ham in hamburger; neither apple nor pine in pineapple.

English muffins weren't invented in England or French fries in France.

Sweetmeats are candies while sweetbreads, which aren't sweet, are meat.

We take English for granted. But if we explore its paradoxes, we find that:
- quicksand can work slowly,
- boxing rings are square and
- a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig,
- writers write but fingers don't fing, and
- grocers don't groce and hammers don't ham?

If the plural of tooth is teeth, why isn't the plural of booth beeth?

One goose, 2 geese. So one moose, 2 meese? One index, 2 indices?

Doesn't it seem crazy that you can make amends but not one amend.

If you have a bunch of odds and ends and get rid of all but one of them, what do you call it?

If teachers taught, why don't preachers praught?

If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat?

Sometimes I think all the English speakers should be committed to an asylum for the verbally insane.

In what language do people:
- recite at a play and play a recital
- ship by truck and send cargo by ship, and
- have noses that run and feet that smell
- drive on a parkway and park on a driveway?

How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites?

You have to marvel at the unique lunacy of a language in which:
- your house can burn up as it burns down,
- you fill in a form by filling it out, and
- an alarm goes off by going on.

English was invented by people, not computers. It reflects the creativity of the human race, which, of course, is not a race at all.

That is why, when the stars are out, they are visible, but when the lights are out, they are invisible.

And finally, why doesn't "buick" rhyme with "quick"?

Answer 3

Headphones = Go on the head

Earphones = Fit on the ears

The rest = No idea what you mean.

Answer 4

For the same reason we drive on parkways and park on driveways. Like when you order JUMBO shrimp. But totally unlike when you have to be present to be communicated, yet absent when you are ex-communicated. The plan remains the same, only the players have changed. You are right when you say stay true to your heart. Too many people have too many faces to fit the "right in-crowd". Have faith and keep the peace.

everyone should do what they feel in their heart is the right thing to do as long as it doesn't break the laws rules and mores of the culture,society or country in which they live; or interferes with the free will and rights of others.

Answer 8

You must have been extremely bored when you asked this question. Because I'm not sure which question to answer I'm just going to sit here and stare in amazement of how long this question is.

Answer 9

Never really thought that much about it, but I do call them headphones.

Answer 10

My thoughts exactly. By that I mean - stop reading my mind or I'll be forced to but on my tinfoil hat again!

Answer 11

I keep telling myself the same thing
