We use outside the box a lot, but you're right. It could be a bubble!
ReplyDeleteIn full agreement on all of these. Add: People who end almost everything they say with: "Y'know what I mean?"
ReplyDeletesounds like a good idea to me
ReplyDeletehappy tt and wishing you a happy new year
And the word, "like". As in, "liking this" on Facebook, or , you know, like, he went uh. And making nouns into verb, such "Facebooking" (Facebook is obviously ruining the language). Good grief. Maybe what we need are lessons on how to speak properly.
ReplyDeleteBefore all of the lovely circles and ovals we fill in now, we checked sturdy boxes on forms that helped sort us into predictable categories. That's led to "Think outside the box", which also touches on being "boxed in".
ReplyDeleteBubbles, on the other hand, are friendly, floating things that even on paper, don't seem as confining. Perhaps because our first exposure to bubbles as babies seems magical.
"Think outside the bubble" might never catch on because of those positive connotations, but more and more people and companies are using the simplier, "Think differently", so the box may finally disappear. :)
Happy T13,
