I was thinking about stupidity this week, it's a long story, the short version is; stupid is dead long live stupid. Anyway I had reason to think about the shortcomings of others and I realised that many minds had colluded in the description, definition and display of euphamisms for I.Q. shortfall, like;

She was dumber than dirt.
or
He was two colours shy of a rainbow

Inventive ways to avoid hurt, but the sentiment is 'you're stupid'.

But there does not seem to me to be a way to say other things, other ways to brighten your day and say flowery words to impress and coddle interest in your language. So much effort gone into dressing up the derogatory doll, I say NO MORE! and roar and rail against beyond the pale sentiment.

So I am going to provide you with the black pepper spritz on the top of your speech pizza. Something to add something to the mundane and workaday, work it into your day, and say, hey, it's me, and I'm more interesting than a magic eye picture on acid. This service is a sporadic series of sayings. Sporadic as in; this may be the only one I come up with (but I doubt it). Go forth use.

As overwhelmed as a cobbler at a clown convention

More to come as and when I have some.

P.S. This post is the start of something for a 'Slam' I am, attending. So if it seems a little verbose then it's suppose, to.
