Today's word: HENDIATRIS! OMG you guys love it, right? Stalk me.
"When three words, parted by a comma, are used to express one idea, then it’s a hendiatris. It is unlike hendiadys, where two words are used to express an idea (sound and fury, nice and loud). This figure of speech uses words that give off a certain common characteristic. For example: wine, women and song. These three point towards a certain lifestyle and also towards the character of the person who leads it.The word hendiatris comes from Greek meaning 'one through three.' "
Veni, vidi, vici.
Wine, women & song.
Sex, drugs, and rock & roll.
Life, liberty, & the pursuit of happiness.
Liberté, Egalité, Fraternité.
Eat, drink, & be merry.
Additionally, since I know you guys only like me cuz of my well-known 1-2 punch of lovely rack and music nerdery:
Me, myself & I.
Rum, sodomy & the lash.
Beats, rhymes, & life.
Earth, Wind & Fire.

Kobe, entitlement and punk ass behavior.
Bring it, baby.
MF Doom also knows that three is the magic number:
It's funny how significance make a difference
Notice parables of three in every other inference
For instance: "Who wanna battle? On the real?
Choose your weapon: microphone, beats, or the wheels-of-steel"
I own a crown in all three for getting down without a doubt
I'd like to give a extra special out
To Jet Jaguar, the sun, moon and star
The Monster Island Czars – y'all know who you are.
Artest's throat ran into Kobe's elbow, Daniel.
