Sometimes I'm fascinated by language and what people do with it. There are always unique ways of saying something and we all know that from one area to another, people may say the same thing, but say it completely differently.
For instance, when I want to say 'do whatever you want', it can come out in a variety of ways. I thought I would write a post throughout my day that compiles a list of these. I believe you might call these colloquialisms or idioms, but I'm not 100% sure about that. I'm sure there are some English majors out there that will correct me.
Here are some that I came up with or have used/heard in the past.
Whatever...
- Whatever turns your crank
- Whatever blows your dress up
- Whatever floats your boat
- Whatever butters your biscuit
- Whatever humps your camel
- Whatever tickles your pickle
- Whatever creams your Twinkie
- Whatever flies your flag
- Whatever lights your candle
- Whatever makes you wet/hard
- Whatever peels your banana
- Whatever mows your lawn
- Whatever paints your wagon
- Whatever starts your motor
