CONJUNCTIONS

---

AND

For the conjunction, "and," double each of the connected words:

Example:
"good and ugly" becomes

---

BUT

The word for "but" is "tock."

"I think that 'but' and 'tock' shouldn't be separated, either gluteally or even philosophically.  Ahhh, the typical DiLingo mindset..."  --sUmUs cAcOOnUs, D. E. "Vee hab vays of makink you tock, yah."  --Kommander Klink

Example:

But he is good and ugly.
Tock ting ing bing bing schloosh schloosh.

NOT ONLY....BUT ALSO, TOO

The mutually dependent construction of "not only...but also," is the actual construction seen at the corner of Cambronne and Jane, my house.  "Not only...but also" used to be "Cambronne...dona", but I moved. Not only...but also Cambronne...jane

I know I'm getting away from the rhyme motif here, but the "not only...but also" will serve as my monument. For about 15 minutes anyway...Next! Excuse me while I enjoy 15 minutes of fame. Excuse me while I kiss the sky.

Not only is he ugly, but he's also very ugly.
Cambronne ting ing schloosh, jane ting ing verschloosh.

Not only is he bad, but he's also ugly.
Cambronne ing ting schling, jane ting ing schloosh.
This could also be translated as
    Not only is he bad, but he's ugly, too.

"Too" alone is "jane." Example:
And I'm good, too.
Ing-ing ing bing, jane.  (Note the doubling of thefirst word to "ing-ing"--see above.)

EITHER...OR

Either...or conjunctions in a sentence are frick and frack. Either...or Frick...frack  Either he goes or I go.
Frick ting vring frack ing vring.

---

 

ETC. (And so on...)

The trailing off conjunction wannabe, "etc.," is

da-deeda. (da' dee da').  This expression has already crept into modern English...
 

So, O.K., I tell the jerk all about it, y'know, the batteries, the warranty, the short extension cord, how there's never an outlet close enough to the bed, da-deeda, the whole thing, an' he just says, "Sorry, lady, no refunds on Bourbon St."

"Da-deeda, da-deeda, da-deeda..." --King of Siam
