Rubber Stamps As A Figure Of Speech
It is interesting to note, that unlike staplers, paper clips, post it notes and other types of office supplies, rubber stamps also enjoy a wide ranging popularity as a figure of speech.
While these prestigious generals are not actually rubber stamping anything that we know of, we can be quite certain that accounts of this meeting, as well as countless other similar types of meetings, in politics, business and elsewhere, are often talked about in the media using the word rubber stamp to indicate the approval; of a certain deal, hiring, decision or so on, as in a statement like, ‘The leaders rubber stamped the new treaty’, meaning simply that they agreed to it.
Recent headlines in the news illustrate this point quite well.
Of course, we don’t mind all the reference to what we make and do so well, but would just like to take this opportunity to remind you, that as the largest manufacturer of custom rubber stamps online, there is almost no end to all the types of actual rubber stamps we make, and in fact we have nearly 3000 products available and offer all manner of self-inking stamps, pre-inked stamps, hand stamps for events, notary stamps, corporate stamps and seals, numbering stamps, alpha-numeric band stamps, date stamps and so much more, representing all the major rubber stamp brands with great prices, service and fast delivery, as well as a very easy to navigate website, all extolled in over 15,000 Five Star reviews.
So while goverments and people the world over may be “rubber stamping” decisions, agreements, points of view and whatnot, we are happy to be here should they actually need real rubber stamps!
