Zeus turning into a swan to get laid is a myth. Self-publishing being only for hacks is just a lie.
Maui accidentally catching the islands of Hawaii on a fishing trip is a myth. The overbearing Latina Mami is a stereotype.
Loki tricking Baldur into getting shot to death with mistletoe is a myth. A “free lunch” is usually a ruse.
Hercules fighting an infinite-headed dragon for redemption is a myth. 15% off on your car insurance is a promotional exaggeration.
Isis summoning a golden penis out of a catfish pond is a myth, and an awesome one. Clean coal is not.
Anything the speaker disbelieves is called a myth. This is obnoxious.
Vive les definitions! Proper definitions, mind.
ReplyDeleteI laughed out loud at this one! "15% off on your car insurance is a promotional exaggeration."
ReplyDeleteWild applause!
