Literature › Re: How Good Are You With Figures Of Speech? Try This Out by Ozkar: 8:46pm On Dec 28, 2018*

TheWritingHub:
In the write-up below, I decided to play with figures of speech.

In it, are different figures of speech (FOG). There are: antithesis, synecdoche, metaphor, metonym, oxymoron, metalepsis, personification, polysemy and homonym.

So can you point these FOGs out from the write-up? Oya, give it a try.

....

Ukaay: Is there anything bigger than Michael's toad eyes?

Ellikot: Such eyes would be more conspicuous than Lai Mohammed's lies.

Ukaay: You need to lie flatly not to see such.

Ellikot: We know it's possible to have eyes and be blind.

Ukaay: Like having a heart, yet dead.

Ellikot: Even with such eyes, he still gets hurt from kicking the bucket.

Ukaay: He had big eyes and cannot see: yet what we see as the little Sun can see.

Is there anything bigger than Michael's toad eyes? - Hyperbole

Michael's toad eyes - Metaphor

Such eyes would be more conspicuous than Lai Mohammed's lies. - Assonance

You need to lie flatly not to see such. - Polysemy, Pun

he still gets hurt from kicking the bucket. - Metalepsis

He had big eyes and cannot see. - Irony

He had big eyes and cannot see: yet what we see as the little Sun can see - Consonance, Antithesis.

Romance › Re: Dentist Pulls ALL Of Ex-boyfriend’s Teeth Out After Getting Dumped by Ozkar: 12:48pm On Dec 28, 2018

sexybaby22:
A dentist in Poland, dumped by her boyfriend, got payback by removing all of her former lover's teeth — leading his new lady to dump him, too.

Anna Mackowiak could face three years in jail after she agreed to treat her ex-boyfriend, Marek Olszewski, when he asked her to help with a toothache just days after he broke up with her.

"I tried to be professional and detach myself from my emotions," Mackowiak, 34, told the Daily Mail. "But when I saw him lying there I just thought, 'What a bastard.'"

Mackowiak then allegedly gave Olszewski, 45, a massive dose of anaesthetic and coldly plucked out his teeth one by one.

She then wrapped his jaw in bandages to prevent him from opening his mouth — and then simply walked away.

"I knew something was wrong because when I woke up I couldn't feel any teeth and my jaw was strapped up with bandages," Olszewski told the British newspaper.

But he did not realize the horror of what happened until he got back to his Wroclaw apartment.

"But when I got home I looked in the mirror and couldn't believe it. She had emptied my mouth."

Olszewski, who will get implants, said his new girlfriend could not handle being with a man who did not have teeth — and dumped him.

Mackowiak is being investigated for medical malpractice.

Damn! The human capacity for evil is just something else.

Yes. That feeling part was off! I think and rethink before I reach a verdict.

Quite accurate. Which are you?

I'm INTJ. Took it several times to be sure though. Got an INTP and INFJ a couple of times.

You could think and even overthink things but still favour feeling. It's more like, which are you more likely to do when faced with a decision - consider other people's feelings or damn everybody and do what you think is right?

It's nt just unfortunate that it's becoming scary as of now with all sort of features thrown with devices this days...
The scariest part to me is what kind of consumers we re going to become in Africa in the nxt 30 years...

in 30 years, Africa would have some of the greatest tech talents, and a few African countries (likely in eastern African) would become producers of tech also.

I don't see Nigeria going past our electricity issues any time soon though, cos we aren't interested. So yeah, our kids would likely remain just consumers like us, arguing if Infinix is better than Tecno.

Can Messi please go proof his consistency in another league

Ronaldo banging in Seria A again and Messi still bent on being buried at Nou Camp

In sports, IT, Healthcare, Engineering or any industry you can think of, Nothing beats consistency over different terrains/company's

see mumu talk. Why not go tell Tesla to start making phones to prove that they are consistent in different tech terrains?

Messi and Ronaldo are only rivals in the media tales for people who don't know what's up. When on the same pitch together, they don't even breath the same air. Ronaldo is just an upgrade on Zlatan, although Zlatan even scores more daring goals and has played in far more leagues.

Christianity Etc › Re: Daddy Freeze Is A Liar, It Is Not Nimrod We Celebrate On Christmas Day by Ozkar: 2:03am On Dec 26, 2018

OkaiCorne:
If Jesus lived for 33 yrs and 6 months...

6 months from today should be Good Friday right?

But good Friday isn't in June/July...

Something isn't adding up...

Can the December 25th apologists help out?

And for those against December 25th...what is the accurate date?

the Bible doesn't say. Isn't it interesting that although it is full of dates, it doesn't contain even a single mention of the day or month Jesus was born? God is wise, and it wasn't by mistake that the date was ignored in accounts that contain details of Jesus birth and life. Same way he carefully concealed Moses' grave from the Israelites.

If we were meant to celebrate it, it would have been mentioned like Nisan 14 (passover/the last Supper date).

God omitted the date on purpose from his word, and humans stubbornly chose to christen an already existing pagan festival instead.

Jesus came to guide mankind back to his maker . He was the only one that could do it after the initial attempt by Lucifer with some fallen angels attempted to taint the bloodline of mankind .

God was very careful even after the destruction of the world with the flood which was suppose to wipe out the entire mankind thereby removing the entire bloodline of the Nephilims while preserving a pure bloodline from Noah’s descendants but one of Noah’s sons proved him otherwise by uncovering Noah’s unclothedness.

hahaha.... Wtf! He didn't uncover anything. Noah got drunk and exposed himself. The son only saw, and then went to spread the gist instead of helping cover him up.

What has Noah's drunkenness got to do with pure bloodlines?

I have already helped him pls read and understand. I have already sent him what he needs. TO SAY YOU WILL MAKE A WOMAN YOU HAVE NOT MET HAPPY IS SIMPLY IGNORANCE..... then when you have already slept with her and she is not happy or fulfilled then u will KNOW that sex is not FULFILLMENT.

ONE PERSON'S LOVE CAN NOT MAKE THE OTHER PARTNER HAPPY ALWAYS... hence there would be no divorce or break ups. so pls have some time to rethink

I think this is a problem of simple English.

He said he has 'the zeal to make one happy'. The guarantee he is giving is that he will definitely try (because he has a strong desire to), when he finds that someone who qualifies.

You are arguing about whether he can say he will succeed in making her happy (and always too), which is totally different from what he said. Again, he didn't say sex is fulfillment or that it is how he hopes to make her happy. You are making up a stance for him, and then arguing against that made-up stance.

Please have some time to rethink, and realize that others are allowed to think differently from you and to have desires/goals different from yours. It's called Theory of Mind. Develop yours.

I can hook you up but the issue is your love is SELFISH.....

to make a lady happy is NOT sex or money... it is helping her fulfill her dreams and you can NOT do that for any lady but only ONE or TWO....

so I feel you should get your head out of such thoughts and just focus on enjoying christmas and being the best version of yourself in 2019

what's your point exactly? Sexual attraction is selfish, and romantic love is mostly selfish. Say something else.

It's either you want to help or you don't. Your opinion on what he should focus on, is not as important as you like to think.

Christianity Etc › Re: Don't Let Anyone Lie To You That Christmas Is A Pagan Festival by Ozkar: 3:33pm On Dec 23, 2018

alBHAGDADI:
Exactly.

If we pick July 23rd, they will still find a god to attach it to or something pagan to make them say the day is wrong.

Their aim is to blot out the name of Jesus from this world. They know people get to hear of the name a lot during Christmas period, so they are angry and want that stopped.

God owns all days.

if you preached enough, as Jesus commanded, you wouldn't need to remix a pagan festival to spread the name.

Don't you wonder what Christmas trees or Santa and his magical flying sleigh have to do with Jesus' birth? Also, what Easter eggs have to do with Jesus' resurrection?

I guess not. You don't care. Like millions of others, you just want to celebrate something.

Christianity Etc › Re: Don't Let Anyone Lie To You That Christmas Is A Pagan Festival by Ozkar: 2:47pm On Dec 23, 2018

Lol. This one that doesn't even know what a '100% chance' means.

What of Santa? How do you explain the fact that it is he and not Jesus that is widely recognized as the face of Christmas?

You know Christmas has nothing to do with Jesus and is steeped in paganism, you just don't care.
