The Language Loft's first photo slideshow awaits! Click the play button below and check it out. Thanks again to everyone who made this project possible. If anyone has suggestions for the next slideshow's theme or, as always, for another figure of speech in need of research, leave a comment or send me an e-mail.
And another of my favorite uses of the word "idiom," just for kicks:
Have a pleasant day, all.

For all of the logo- and linguaphiles out there (that's word- and language-lovers), The Language Loft updates every week with snippets about some of the lesser-known origins of idioms, wordplay, scholarly terms, and mistranslations. Comments welcome! Enjoy the Loft.

Not AWOL...just working.
Hey loyal readers - just wanted to let you know that I haven't been posting for a very important reason. I'm working on a project for this blog - a slideshow of photographs depicting idioms acted out by real, live people!*
If you'd like to be part of this project and live in the Gainesville, Fla. area, feel free to e-mail me at edwardmbowen@gmail.com and we can set up a time to get you in a photo before Friday.
Thanks folks! I'll have this slideshow up and running on here by Friday at the latest.

* - as opposed to fake, dead people**
