I was listening to the Schnidt show, this afternoon. The guest host was discussing the planned reading of the Constitution and a caller claimed it was just a gimmick. The host axed him if he had ever read the constitution. His reply was "of course not."

Not "never got 'round to it."
Not "sorry, I haven't."
Not even, "nah, didn't feel like it."

No, it was "of course not." As it reading the constitution was some sort of strange, extremist activity that well-adjusted people ought not engage in.

(sorry to nitpick, but it's "asked" ^_^)

If we actually spell it "axed," there's a good chance we're just being tongue-in-cheek.

The interweb terms can be so confusing, like "wank." Took me a while to figure the correct term for it. (Strangely enough, people actually liked my version of it. Heh.)

My husband and I actually make fun of this lawyer's commercial down in Jacksonville (FL) when we visit. He has one of those 24-hour advice hotlines and the number is 1-800-ASK-DAVE (uh, only call if you need legal advice? /disclaimer). Of course, when the "accident victims" in his commercial recite the number, it always comes out as "won-aight-hundred-ax-Dave." So, I guess it could be a legal advice or a murder-for-hire hotline, depending on if you paid attention or not.

Anyway, that's what I thought of with your little humor up there. ;)
