I maintain that “badger” is the greatest word in the English Language. Why, you ask? Try this: Take any grammatically correct English sentence in existence, such as this:
“I truly hope to see you this evening.”
Now then. Badger is both a noun (ferret-like mammal), and a verb (to annoy). The glory of all this? You can replace the noun or verb in any sentence at all with the word “badger”, and the sentence will still make sense! Examples:
“I truly hope to badger you this evening.”
“I truly hope to see badger this evening”
(Although this sentence sounds slightly better with the indefinite article version of “a” in front of the word “badger”, grammatically speaking it does not necessitate it)
Try it at home with the kids. Fun for the whole family! |
