doesn't Homocide refer to human murder?
yep... homo-cide, like homo sapiens.
Please comment on my teaser! I need feedback so I can improve future teasers! Thank you!
yea, don;t copy other teaser ideas, no matter how crappy they are.
What are you talking about?
jeez, this is great! *coughsarcasticcough*
this teaser sucks!!!
oh my god mollynoodl i'm so sorry... i don't remember submitting that comment... i think that my brother might know my password...
i think that one of the big issues with this teaser is the use of the word "homicide." it doesn't flow with the saying, as they are technically different parts of speech. "Homicide" is a noun and "Killing" is a present participle (gerund). Another gerund, like "murdering" or "slaying" , would make the most sense, imo.
