Ever notice that in some dialects, "lawyers" and "liars" are pronounced similarly?

And how Heroin resembles Heroin?

[zibblsnrt.livejournal.com]

Well, generally speaking, words resemble themselves. ;)

Recently I proposed the title Super Heroin for the expansion of a certain super hero cardgame, but it was rejected ;-)

Dunno waht game you're talking about, but Munchkin would probably take something like that [if they don't have it already].

[jhghendriks.livejournal.com]

Munchkin? Surely not.

Now I have to get back to my Super Munchkin 2 playtest.

Heroin

Herione

But you were really close. Missed it by an E.

Job well done anyway. *I* would've never thought of that. ^_^

[phenyx.livejournal.com]

Herione!

[jrenken.livejournal.com]

In a word...yes. %)

It started with -- well, when we're driving, we take the random three letter combinations on licence plates and try to come up with an acronym that fits. It was LAR in this case. Here's how the conversation went...

[me] "Lawyers and Rockets"
[Jill] *laughs* "Lawyers and Rockets!"
[me] "I just said that."
[Jill] "Oh. I thought you said 'liars'."

So I thought of you and figured you'd be amused, both for the linguist in you and the proto-lawyer. ;)
