Descriptive Phrases

[Lenny]

A Trumpet? In a brass band?! Heavens above!!! BURN THE HEATHENS and so on and so forth.

 

[Pyan]

Stick-in-the-mud!
More of a wind band than a brass band, to be accurate.We had clarinets, too!!

 

[HoopyFrood]

Ahem...*Points to the title of the thread* I don't see "Band discussion" labelled as the topic for this, gentlemen.

*Flees before she is shouted at*

 

[Culhwch]

At the very least it should be changed to 'Descriptive phrases regarding brass bands...'

 

[Lenny]

Then why call it a brass band?

I play in a wind band. And I'm glad to say there isn't a cornet in sight. Whenever a new fella pops up with a cornet, s/he is given one of the band Trumpets instead. Shame we don't get any new folks.

[Pyan]

There you are, Hoopy, Cul!! A Descriptive Phrase!









Thanks, Lenny!

 

[Lenny]

No problemo, oh mighty greeny!

It's funny, but a lot of the descriptive phrases I've come across have been oxymorons. Going through an old book, I found, "Make haste slowly," and "Faith unfaithfully kept him falsely true." I like "bittersweet" as well.

The most perfectly descriptive bit of writing I've ever come across is in The Doors' song, Riders on the Storm:

There's a killer on the road,
His brain is squirmin' like a toad.

 

[HappyHippo]

ewww, that's fantastic; I can see it! *pleasantly horrible shiver*

I apologise for contributing to the band discussion, evil laugh. But I would like to state for the record *quotes* Ahem...*Points to the title of the thread* I don't see "Band discussion" labelled as the topic for this, gentlemen. *close quotes* I'm not a gentleman!

 

[Joel007]

I have heard "a gaggle of geese" re-written into "a giggle of girls"
And someone once referred to a group of my associates and me as "a noise of boys"
