one of my favorite friends is the *king of quips, and he uses the one about the ugly tree, but he says 'and hit every branch on the way down'. i've also heard him utter 'i've seen better legs on a pool table' more than once =) (OUCH!)
didn't we once have a thread about creative insults? fun stuff~ my favorite is saying that a person comes "from the shallow end of the gene pool".
what's the proper term for these things anyhow? quips? idioms? cliches? does anyone use the word "jape"? what exactly does that mean...a one-liner?
ps to hev: i love the cliche site ~ thanks! my favorite is "he's a bubble shy of plumb" =)
