The Elements of Style? Big Johnson T-Shirts

One of my favorite things about being a writer, especially one who writes about sex, is being able to play around with language and its meaning. I'm especially moved by ambiguous language. Words and phrases that make you think naughty things, but make you wonder at the same time. One of the greatest (and tackiest) examples of this are those Big Johnson T-shirts that were popular about 15 years ago (and still are in parts of the south). Although I'm not promoting these as fashionable, I can appreciate the clever use of language.

Here are some of my favorites. I had no idea there were so many! See more here.
