I didn't know what an argus was until now, so to me that's not "yawnsomely" literal.

Well, it’s literal cover art (per preceding post)

(all these Wishbone covers have a certain non-yawnsome degree of creativity to my eyes)
― tumblin’ dice outro (morrisp), Thursday, 9 September 2021 02:28 (four years ago)
That's because they're mostly hipgnosis covers. Agree that they're a cut above the usual fare in this thread.

A non-global-sport-specific semipun playing on a quote from a famous play... There's the Rub doesn't belong anywhere near this thread.
The self-titled I'd allow.
Hipgnosis covers are generally vile and horrendous.

Apologies if this has been mentioned upthread (I couldn't find it) but force it/faucet:

"Force It" doesn't work very well in the U.S., where in most inflections "force it" and "faucet" don't sound at all alike

It doesn't work in the UK either where no-one uses the word faucet.

Hold on, how do Americans pronounce faucet? Fowse-it? Or force-ay?
― john landis as man being smashed into window (uncredited) (Matt #2), Monday, 13 September 2021 08:35 (four years ago)
I imagine the point is Force It and Faucet don't sound the same... unless you're from Boston.
― How does Spock's brain come into this? (Tom D.), Monday, 13 September 2021 08:48 (four years ago)
Not sure what accent they would sound the same in, tbh. The vowel sounds are different, for a start.
― How does Spock's brain come into this? (Tom D.), Monday, 13 September 2021 08:56 (four years ago)
Maybe they sound the same in a posh Cambridge accent like the Hipgnosis chaps had.
― How does Spock's brain come into this? (Tom D.), Monday, 13 September 2021 08:57 (four years ago)
'British pronunciation' at the top here sounds a) like i would say it and ii) exactly like 'force it':

I'm in the UK and have also always assumed it's pronounced force it (well, force ett but still very similar)

I didn't know Barbra Streisand went though a phase where she decided she was so famous she could just go by "Barbra" and people would know it was her, even without a pic.
