Fun with the word “doom.”
Or I should say, doooooooooooom!
Being a fan of doom metal, as well as having fans of the videogame called Doom in our household, we have a lot of fun with that word.
For instance, my husband took a break from cleaning the bathroom, and before he continued, he said, “Alright. Time to go back into the lair….of DOOOOOOOOM!”
Our youngest son likes to write stories. My favorite so far has been “The Candy Machine of Doom.” Or as we like to say, “The Candy Machine….of DOOOOOOOOM!”
Now you try it. Take any old phrase ending in a noun and tack on, “….of DOOOOOOOOM!” It works best if you use something truly grody, such as, “It’s time to take out the trash cans….of DOOOOOOOOM!” Or, conversely, something sweet and harmless. Like, “Susan sure has a cool blog….of DOOOOOOOOM!”
