A figure of Speech
« on: April 06, 2020, 22:42:58 PM »
As an alternative to The YES/NO thread let's try this.

You have to find 27 Figures of Speech from the print below.

PLEASE DO NOT post individual figures of speech that you find.

ONLY POST the number you have found and we will round thongs up later.

Definitely 27

Although there is someone who thinks they may have found 49. I've seen the list and they all look legit.  :)
