John Rene Plaut

THE TANTANES type of children's joke where the augmentative mode is repeatedly used so, so that it can have the sense of a maximum, as of a minimum : It was so, so, so low that when he died he went to the ceiling.

  


Santos Casimiro Castro

They're jokes designed for kids. Its main feature is in employment of the phrase "so. . . so" in its construction to intensify or exaggerate the mental images it evokes. Another of its attractions is the game with the multiple meanings or sounds of words. 1 . "He was so short, so short that when he died, he went to the roof." 2 . "He was so tall, so tall that he had no sien, he had a thousand."
