Tmesis (tmee’-sis): Interjecting a word or phrase between parts of a compound word or between syllables of a word.
It is time to do what must be done. Sooner, not later.
Are we Team U.S. of fuggetaboutit-A?
I don’t think so.
I’d like to think that we are Team U.S. of friggin-kaboomin-A!
You know what to do!
It’s a slam jump swish 3-point lay-up free throw hook shot–It’s a full-court no “me” in “team” press! Blow your whistles and grab your b-balls, we’re going to war!
