Well, there is the use of plural possessive. For instance:
...players' salary demands...
Speaking of salaries, can you believe what starting pitchers are making these days? I mean, an eight figure payday for chumps who would have been career minor league middle-of-the-rotation guys back in the day.
Back in the day. Where the hell did that term come from? I guess they made it up (wait for it) back in the day.
Oh, that reminds me about something "made up" recently. NFTs. Yep, those million dollar digital thingies collectors were going crazy over not too long ago. Those fools really lost their shirt.
Lose your shirt. Hmmm. "Deep Thoughts" time. Is it worse to lose your shirt when it's cold outside, or only if you're not indoors?
Before you all show me the door, I just have one more question:
If a chicken and a half can lay an egg and a half in a day and a half, how long does it take a monkey with a wooden leg to kick all the seeds out of a dill pickle?
