Best euphemism winner
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Our third Book Page contest, for Best Euphemism, has a winner. “A couple Skittles short of a rainbow,” a clever variation on the many versions of “not the sharpest knife in the drawer,” etc., ad finitum. It was submitted by Matt. Congratulations, Matt. You win my copy of “How Not to Say What You Mean,” the dictionary of euphemisms.
The contests I run here seem to be somewhat popular. For the first three, I have keyed them to a specific book, and given away the book as the prize. I am now opening up the floor for other contest ideas. They have to be book-related, in some way, and I will probably keep giving books away, just because it seems appropriate.
So help me out here. What should our next Book Page contest be?
