Help Nice-Up Some Words
Hey ya meerkats,
I feel pretty sorry for this guy. He took on a hard job of making some violent idioms nicer, and it made him feel feelings inside. Here are the ones he couldn’t muster:
Please make these nicer, won’t you? Leave your best revisions in the comments. Some may become illustrated.
-Drew
UPDATE: You guys are amazing. That is way more nice metaphors than I expected. I drew some of them just now, and put them into comment-replies. If I haven’t drawn yours yet, I’m sorry. There are far too many for ME to muster.
