A sloppy mixed metaphor?
- card_zero 8mo agoI'm learning to like 'em more, along with every other human idiosyncracy. Besides, it makes a kind of sense, the idea of some resonance occuring in one's gusset. Timber timbre. Flangent thrumming.
- IncreasePosts 8mo agoTuning fork in loins just makes me think of that chess cheating scandal with a vibrating butt plug.
- ses1984 8mo agoIt just makes me think of that time I saw someone recovering from eye surgery and I had a visceral reaction.
- ptrl600 8mo agoJust like in Asimov's "Monkey's Finger".

- tasty_freeze 8mo agoI thought it was more creative than sloppy. Don't forget that many ordinary phrases were once jarring mixed imagery. To "wear your heart on your sleeve" was coined by Shakespeare; we still use it because it "stuck" due to its unorthodox phrasing. If you like your prose to be anodyne, then maybe you like what AI produces.
