Verbiage For The Verbose: Unravel Over 250 Fun Word Challenges: summary, description and annotation
We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Verbiage For The Verbose: Unravel Over 250 Fun Word Challenges" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.
Wordsmiths unite! This new book is tailor-made for everyone who enjoys the English language. Author Peter Gordon has transformed a formidable collection of adages, pop phrases, advertising slogans, and book and song titles into hilariously obfuscated aphorisms he calls Smart Speak. After all, when it comes to communication, why take the direct approach when a wordy one will do?
Verbiage for the Verbose challenges readers to test their knowledge of their mother tongue by unraveling Gordons verbose verbiage. Consider, for example, the authors take on these familiar sayings: Display to me the legal tender (Show me the money). Do not enumerate ones domestic fowls prior to the end of their incubation period (Dont count your chickens before they are hatched). A prickly-stemmed, pinnate-leaved, showy flower called something else would have the same pleasant fragrance (A rose by any other name would smell as sweet).
Sometimes obscure, always amusing, Verbiage for the Verbose entertainingly illustrates the importance of using concise yet catchy words. After all as author Gordon points out, if Bart Simpson went around saying, Produce not a bovine, sir, instead of Dont have a cow, man, would he have become nearly as popular? Would Bob Dylan have hit the pop charts with Undulating in the Zephyr instead of Blowin in the Wind?

Do not enumerate ones domestic fowls prior to the end of their incubation period. 
DONT COUNT YOUR CHICKENS BEFORE THEY ARE HATCHED. DONT COUNT YOUR CHICKENS BEFORE THEY ARE HATCHED. A naturally crystallized hard form of carbon is a young womans closest companion. A DIAMOND IS A GIRLS BEST FRIEND. A nincompoop and his currency are promptly sundered. A FOOL AND HIS MONEY ARE SOON PARTED. Possess mammals that use echolocation in ones tower for carillons. HAVE BATS IN YOUR BELFRY.
Do not produce a bovine, sir. DONT HAVE A COW, MAN. A pardine beast is unable to alter its markings. A LEOPARD CANT CHANGE HIS SPOTS. A small amount of erudition is a hazardous matter. A LITTLE KNOWLEDGE IS A DANGEROUS THING.
Do not gaze into the muzzle of a thoroughbred that is a present. DONT LOOK A GIFT HORSE IN THE MOUTH. I will submit a proposition that the man will be unable to say no to. ILL MAKE HIM AN OFFER HE CANT REFUSE. A cupreous mintage squirreled away is a cupreous mintage netted. A PENNY SAVED IS A PENNY EARNED.
If the foot apparel is the correct size for ones foot, one should put it on. IF THE SHOE FITS, WEAR IT. A gyrating dornick does not accumulate bryophytic growth. A ROLLING STONE GATHERS NO MOSS. A prickly-stemmed, pinnate-leaved, showy flower called something else would have the same pleasant fragrance. A ROSE BY ANY OTHER NAME WOULD SMELL AS SWEET.
Do not nip at the manual extremity that nourishes you. DONT BITE THE HAND THAT FEEDS YOU. An eyed cooking vessel will under no circumstances reach 212 degrees Fahrenheit. A WATCHED POT NEVER BOILS. A lupine beast in the raiments of an ovine beast. Watch out for Athenians carrying presents. BEWARE OF GREEKS BEARING GIFTS. BEWARE OF GREEKS BEARING GIFTS.
Deeds communicate more forcibly than speech. ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS. Combat a blaze using a blaze. FIGHT FIRE WITH FIRE. Everything that coruscates is not auric. Mendicants cannot be selectors. BEGGARS CANT BE CHOOSERS.
