Strange Bedfellows - Fun with Etymology

- Fun with Etymology

af Anil
Bag om Strange Bedfellows - Fun with Etymology

Etymologically-related words, most surprisingly so (strange bedfellows), are used to construct amusing and/or amazing pairs, phrases and whole sentences, mostly accompanied by silly or satirical comments, tall tales with recurring characters, poems, fake news and fake ads for Dr. Duck’s Dealy Deli. An appendix gives many other pairs of surprisingly related synonyms, antonyms, etc., balanced by the converse - pairs one might expect to be related but are not. Author Bio: Anil is a retired biologist, born in Kentucky, now a dual citizen of Australia living in Perth. He is the author of an award-winning children’s (and all ages!) book, Silly Animal Rhymes and Stories A to Z, and a big book of puns and other humorous word play, How to Double the Meaning of Life. A sequel to Strange Bedfellows is also near completion.
