'cheerful agreement'
a wonderful word that just rolls of the tongue, said with puntuated pauses whilst saying it adds to the drama, really love saying this.
the word is formed through a linguistic process called tmesis, where a word is inserted into another word or phrase.
it is a blend of "absolutely" and the intensifying expletive "-fucking-".
in english, this type of expletive infixation is used to add emphasis and emotional weight, though it follows specific rules intuitively known by native speakers. the infix is typically placed before the stressed syllable of the word.
mad as a box of frogs is an eclectic series of original works intricately contained within a defined box frame size. the words and phrases used may resonate with people, situations, or even abstract concepts. the content often weaves together elements of humour and confrontational themes. many pieces creatively manipulate the shape and form of the text itself, drawing the viewer's attention. the artwork explores various themes through a mixed media approach. while the phrase evokes a visual image, it is not meant to be taken literally.
it serves as a figure of speech that reflects the work that excites me and ideally captivates the viewer as well.
