Analogy

Extrapolate is to assume as rain is to pouring.


- Marko

"Euphonious" glossary page.

Teacher: "OK everyone, please hand in your homework".

Jake: "I'm so nervous what mark I'm going to get"!

Nick: "I'm sure you'll do just fine".

The very next day...The teacher is handing out the test results

Jake: "Yikes! Mrs. Crabbs is heading our way!"

As Mrs. Crabbs was handing Jake his test she said...

Teacher: "Euphonious work Jake!"

Jake: "Why thank you Mrs. Crabbs!"

Nick: "Jake got an "A+" everyone!" his friend yelled out.

Phlegmatic "Dialogue"


Dan:  "Hey John"
John:"Leave me alone!"
Dan: "John, why are you acting so phlegmatic?" 
John: "I am not being phlegmatic, because if I was I would be grumpy"
Dan: " sorry it is just my phlegmatic cousin is flying in today and I don't want to talk to him he gets on my nerves.  Can you come over to keep me company?"
John: "Sure, I will come over at five o'clock"
Dan: "Thanks John, see now you are not being phlegmatic"

Composed

The analogy I made for Composed is.
Composed is to Calm as Excited is to Thrilled
