Catachresis: the ABCs of Bad Language

Do your catkin make prank catcalls from their cathouse then take long catnaps and dream about catwalks and failed cat jumps, catlike… like a cat?


That's catachresis – the incorrect use of a word or words, as by misapplication of terminology or by strained or mixed metaphor.


Catachresis: the ABCs of Bad Language is full of it, featuring twenty six absurd illustrations and equally ridiculous haiku that describe words and phrases that start with "c-a-t."


Illustrations are mash-ups of watercolor paintings and photos of knitted cats and letters embellished with found images from the world wide internet.


Meet Catachresis, where misunderstanding meets mixed metaphor for cat-astrophic hilarity.
