You know, Shakespeare was famous for the same thing.

"Puerist" That's rich! But lately I feel it's time for moving on and making up whole sentences -even some expressions - like: "A taskmaster of backhanded obfuscation" With an award winning, modular design, it can be readily adapted to existing sentences: He's a taskmaster of backhanded obfuscation or asking compound questions like: What does a taskmaster of backhanded obfuscation do for fun in the offseason?

“Puerist”

That’s rich!

But lately I feel it’s time for moving on and making up whole sentences -even some expressions - like:

“A taskmaster of backhanded obfuscation”

With an award winning, modular design, it can be readily adapted to existing sentences:

He’s a taskmaster of backhanded obfuscation

or asking compound questions like:

What does a taskmaster of backhanded obfuscation do for fun in the offseason?
