Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for December 23, 2024

Ambiguous use of synonyms. A classic method of setting someone up to be stabbed with Morton’s Fork.

It actually means NEIGH different things

Neigh saying to a whole new level.

“Neigh I say”!

In 9 days, a new annum will arrive!

I suppose Unicorn is a tonal language. And magic of course.

That’s why Marigold is using old human words, Phoebe. Less confusion.

Meaning is all in the inflection. Same in English. “Oh, you look great,” can be an insult or a compliment depending on tone of voice.

This reminded me of a friend from when I was a teenager who actually wished everyone “Good Fresh Annum” instead of “Happy New Year” just to be weird.

Details, details.

Awww… back to reruns…
