<p>Out of deference to <em>Babylon 5</em>’s Delenn, I must note:
<b>crotchety</b>
</p>
<p><blockquote>
<b>Delenn:</b> Ivanova sent me to find you. She says you haven’t been sleeping, that you have barely been eating. She says that you have been, in her words, ‘carrying on cranky’. I looked up the word ‘cranky’, it said ‘grouchy’. I looked up the word ‘grouchy’, it said ‘crotchety’. No wonder you have such an eccentric culture. None of your words have their own meanings – you have to look up one word to understand another. It never ends.<br />
<em>Sheridan isn’t listening to her. He is focused on the galactic map. </em><br />
<p><b>Sheridan:</b> Something here doesn’t make sense.<br />
<b>Delenn:</b> That is what I thought when I came across ‘crotchety’. This cannot be a real word, I said.</p></blockquote></p>felicityhttp://faerye.net/post/the-following-words-are-funny#comment-772what fun!2003-11-26T08:45:02+00:002003-11-26T08:45:02+00:00<p>chipotle<br />
