I don't know if you guys have seen the hilarious movie "Mystery Men" with Janeane Garofalo, Ben Stiller, William H. Macy, Hank Azaria, Paul Reubens (aka Pee Wee Herman), Greg Kinnear, Geoffrey Rush, Eddie Izzard, and others. One of the characters, The Sphinx, is fond of using antimetabole to often amusing results, especially when Ben Stiller's character figures out the 'macro' he's using and starts anticipating what he says.
Ooo, was not aware of that movie, Kaa, but I love a lot of those actors. And gosh, antimetabole to boot! Heading over my Netflix queue now....
Many years ago, when computer programmers were rare and elite, and computers were much slower, a buddy of mine would start a long operation on the computer, take off his shoes, and put his feet up on the desk. When the computer needed some key stroke on another, he would do what was required with his toes. We dubbed him clavopededextrous. The term stuck as long as I worked there.
There is also a poker player, William Rockwell, who plays poker with his feet, having lost the use of his arms and hands. He has played several years in the World Series of Poker. I have never heard him refer to his dexterity with any specific words.
Not exactly antimetabole, but I was reminded of this quote that plays on the sounds of the words:
"I'd rather have a bottle in front of me, than a frontal lobotomy."
(Attributed to various people, from Dorothy Parker to Tom Waits.)
My wife Rebecca, a Cheesehe ... um, Wisconsinite, remarks that "mud duck" is another term for loon, which is the state bird of Minnesota. Thus, calling a Minnesotan a mud duck is calling him a loon, in every sense of the word.
Love your show. You seem to have quite a few callers from Wisconsin, and every time I've quizzed my wife about what a particular piece of Wisconsin argot means, she's answered correctly without a moment's hesitation.
