I've always thought it was "thing," but apparently the OED thinks "think." [link]

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
When you leave grammar, you've gone to the dark side.
Are you telling me there is no (other) instance of ungrammatical-yet-acceptable-because-amusing plays on words in literature or popular culture? I wish I were more than passing familiar with Shakespeare's works; I'll bet he coined a few of them.

It's not supposed to be grammatical, it's supposed to be amusing! It's a play on words! Why is there no whimsy in your soul?
It's not a play on words; it's a threat! Threats have way more teeth when they're grammatical!
My whimsy was in the tooth that got pulled. I had a whimsectomy.

Tep's been de-whimsified! Oh no!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I made a batch of molasses cooks in the mountains this weekend, and I threw the last of them in the freezer. So three are defrosting on the counter right now. Go me.
