A simple word puzzle

[Frog]

like the type that Gilly mentioned. Words positioned such as to imply a known phrase.

[inkman996]

The wolves are circling?

[Frog]

a much more simple phrase for the one I posted.

Your answer I would have illustrated like this

[3Deep]

A dog chasing it's tail

[inkman996]

How I see Congress

       One Big....

[printguy]

Looks like a circle jerk, if you know what I mean...

[Gilligan]

Are we supposed to answer if we know?

Growling and Snarling?

[Frog]

answers on these are usually common phrases or cliches, in the vein of your "mind over matter", a  simple description of two words' orientation.
The simple and obvious is sometimes obscured by over-thinking with these.

I did post the answer of this one in its own thread. http://www.theshirtboard.com/index.php/topic,6070.0.html

Gotcha... the ones I referenced were always direct translation once you figured out the trick... like the mind over matter.  I wish I could remember some others.

Like:

Bridge
trouble waters

Again, lame example.
