Saul Bellow, however, wasn’t known as a noisy fellow,
Anymore than a woman called Serena is necessarily mellow.
So what’s in a name?
No two answers will be the same.
‘So and so by name, such and such by nature…’
Is an expression that generalises the occasional nature of names.
Naming and shaming highlights one of the drawbacks of names—
Making readily identifiable those who are to blame.
The use of names has altered due to society’s widespread political correctness,
Making their use more complex like a series of social games.
You can’t call a spade a spade these days unless you want to dig your own grave,
Unless you’re referring to playing cards and say it with a poker face.
If you licked a sweetshop it would leave a bitter aftertaste, which is hard to swallow.
Language, supposedly, contains numerous helpful symbols aiding human communication.
Yet it’s a sad fact that from all the world’s languages only two symbols are universally understood: the £ and the $.
These days, as a general rule, labels are unacceptable.
Apart from when they’re on a shirt’s collar.
A ‘true’ collarbone would increase the weight of certain items of clothing,
Making consumers shirty, perhaps we’d see their loathing.
