The many nuances of language

Here's a new one for you: “Half Coated All Butter Lemon Biscuits”.

As well as sounding like a yummy treat, they have a few little extras for lovers of language like myself. There is, for example, the beautiful pairing of Half/All – Half Coated. All Butter.

Then there's the strange contradiction inherent in the statement that, despite being All Butter, they are in fact Lemon Biscuits.

I don't actually know what they taste like yet, but the linguistic entrée was delicious.

Disappointment, n.
