In an effort to educate the nominally literate and inform those with sufficient humility to understand their own lack of comprehension, Esme offers the correct definition of misunderstood words…
Conjunction
- (noun – pronunciation note: con junction ) A system of road signs set up to lure unwary drivers into the hands of thugs and thieves. Example: the conjunction set up on the back road into town netted the criminals two sports cars a lorry load of cigarettes and an elderly whore with bunions before it was found and closed down.
- (noun – pronunciation note: c on junction) Leaves, frost and wetness on railway tracks leading to late trains and commuter chaos. Example: there just had to be a conjunction on the day he was due to defend his PHD dissertation, fortunately the board went ahead without him.
If you have any words whose meaning escapes you, Esme Crockford is always happy to share her lexicographical knowledge and penetrating insight into the English language.
