The Unabridged Costello Dictionary- a trainspotters delight

Post by firebetty »

this is an idea I had a long time ago and never had the patience or perseverance to even begin. so i am passing along the idea.

alphebetically list elvis-isms
words
phrases
themes
...

with possible-multipul-meanings-double entendre- etc.
cross-refrenced with puns, applicable songs, and what not.
is anyone up for it?
this was only the begining of a long list of failed ideas. many of you have a much deeper knowledge and understanding of the subject matter and can take this much farther than my mildest dreams.
let's see what ya got!

You mean words like "dust"...

Phrases like She's filing her nails while they're dragging the lake...

Themes like "...that bitch is making me fucking silly"

Time consuming! Are you talking ending up as a website, or a tome?
