See if this definition hurts your head as much as mine

Post by DISGUSTIPATED »

This is a definintion from Brewer's Dictionary of Phrase & Fable
This is also excatly as it is written in the book ... save for maybe the font .

That.Seven 'that's' may follow one another and make
sense , as the following verse :
For it be known that we may safely write
Or say that 'that that' that that man wrote was right;
Nay, e'en that that that , that 'that THAT' has
followed,
Through six repeats, the grammar's rule has
hallowed;
And that that that that that 'that THAT' began
Repeated seven times is right, deny who can .

Or this in prose:
'My Lords, with humble submission,that that I say
is this: that that that 'that that' that gentleman
has advanced is not that that should he have proved
to your lordships.'
Spectator,No.86(1714)
:spanishinquisition:
Get up and free yourself from yourself. Locked up inside you, like the calm beneath castles, is a cavern of treasures that no one has been to.

Its all in the way you read it and say it. I promise.. Try reading it out load emphasizing the That's in different ways. It will start to make sense. You'll see. I love this. I can't wait to screw with my English Comp professor with this! :lol:
