Two for one.

Land of hope and glory.

Thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory.

Fear and trembling.

Rough and tumble.

Instead of land of glorious hope; thine is the glorious power; fearful trembling, two nouns are used instead of the usual adjective-noun. We use two of the same - two nouns - instead of just one unit (adjective-noun). Hence the name - two for one.

Try it!

Lovely, sunny day! Day of love and sun!

Dracula – a dreadful mystery. Dracula – dread and mystery.

A game of exciting skill. A game of skill and excitement.

It works with adjectives too.

My beer is nice and cold. (not nicely cold)

The politician was shrill and arrogant. (not shrilly arrogant).

The chocolate bar – relaxing and tasty.

You can do it with verbs and we do it so often that we no longer notice it.

Go and do it. (Should be go to do it.)

I'll come and see. (I'll come to see.)

He went out and took a look. (He went out to take a look.)

See how many two-in-ones you can make out of this lot (they don't all go together!):

glory	lunch
milk	power
majesty	gold
frost	honey

The North - a land of glory and moonlight!

Africa! A promise of gold and honey!
Cinnamon and terror.
Figgy and Smith.

What a start to a story! Or a really good title for your novel: The Moon and Sixpence. The Power and the Glory. 

Warning: both of these have been taken so you have to do your own.
How to do it: Think of two nice words which have nothing to do with each other - jam and sunshine. Just join the two nice words together to get the effect. How about Sugar and Mrs Brown?
Or two nasty, smelly, noisy words together: The Sound and the Fury. (Sorry - been done already).
The snitch and the toffee. The majesty of silence. The milk of beauty.

A level students only:

The Greek for this trick is hendiadis– (hen – one – dia– through – dis – two: pronounced Hen-DIE-a-dis).

Shakespeare went through a stage of doing lots of them in his middle period (1599+). So if you are doing Hamlet, Macbeth or King Lear make sure you mention this to your teacher and your examiner and get that extra credit and that special mark.
