when my daughter was young, almost 20 years ago, I made up a word game that I thought was my original idea but now see it wasn't. We took two words NOBODY and NOTHING and made them a person and a thing. Now when my daughter and I would be anywhere and hear some one talking and they would use these words we secretly would look and wink at each other because we knew what they just said was something totally different than what they thought. Like.... NOBODY knew we were coming so NOTHING was prepared. NOTHING makes me feel good in the morning. NOBODY should die like that. My wife, at that time, announced if NOBOY helps me NOTHING'S going to get done and both my daughter and I laughed. I was going to write a book about Nothing and NOBODY and try to include all these. You hear them all the time in our language. NOBODY sells cars for less. I'm not going to take NOTHING from NOBODY. NOBODY can make me do NOTHING, would be an example of a improper speech since you can't do that. So there are some rules to this NOTHING/NOBODY game.
