Ever hear a turn of phrase or something that just strikes your fancy? Tickles your funny bone? Can't help but smile or think...

"Hmmm....that'd make a great book title!"?

Share your own here...

Here's one that caught my attention just today:

A Fist Full of Fritos

I've got a couple. The weirdest:

Please Don’t Feed The Manatees - Floridapunk
I Hate Stealth Omega - Not a clue what it might be.
A Space Station Named Fantasy - I actually have an idea for this one, but I'm a long way from feeling confident enough to write it. Utopia/Dystopia sci-fi

The FB group 'Previously Unsaid Sentences in Human History' is a goldmine. Some quick notables:

-Serpent Covered in Vaseline.
-Cockroach Juice is Good For You.
-Are Three Boobs a Crowd?
-Now Everyone's Horny for Bowser.
-There's Nothin' 'Meme' About Smokin' Cigarettes.

It took some hunting, but I found my long-ago list of titles requiring only a story or novel to match. Among the crap:

St. Christopher's Mettle
Hole-Hearted
Pleas and Thank You
Wait Training

Obviously I was fully enamored with puns at the time.

Maryn, sobered by how long ago she created that document

"Tree Meanie"

Woke up with the phrase in my head one morning. Seems like a good title for a picture book, but I haven't yet thought of a plot to go with it.
