J is for juxtapose

Juxtapose deserves to be the word of the day for many reasons.

I mean, just look at it. Juxtapose. Juxtapose. Juxtapose.

Earlier in life I always heard "Just suppose" when someone would say "juxtapose." Though you can get away with this misunderstanding, you don't get quite get the meaning.

Juxtapose: To place side by side, especially for comparison or contrast.

For example, after watching Oliver Stone's "Nixon" I might say, "Juxtaposed to Bush, Nixon didn't look so bad!"

What other fun things can be juxtaposed? Your imagination is the limit!

Smooth, creaminess of hummus jxtpsd with warm, toasted pita bread = :)

Relaxing embrace of sedatives jxtpsd with the screeching sound of a dentist drill = :(

You get the idea. . .

There's apparently a low-brow art rag called "Juxtapoz." Chock full of misogyny (isn't that the hallmark of high-brow art?) I did find this interesting pic & decided to rip it off. In the name of women everywhere.

Interesting juxtaposition.
