Who Wants to Buy Me This Shirt for Christmas?

The perfect shirt for me, the English major who sucks at Math! I wear a Women's size Medium, thank you very much! This site (http://www.mentalfloss.com/) has so many fun shirts, and I think I may be turning many of their images into classroom posters. It will at least require some of my 8th graders to look up the terms in order to get the joke. Here are a few of my favorites:

"Out, out, damned spot!" Ha, ha!

Perfect! This beats my "raining cats and dogs" example
Extreme exaggeration - hyperbole

Great vocabulary poster for our tone and mood words.
Nothing like beating a dead horse with this final shirt....
