She says you haven&#8217;t been sleeping, that you have barely been eating. She says that you have been, in her words, &#8216;carrying on cranky&#8217;. I looked up the word &#8216;cranky&#8217;, it said &#8216;grouchy&#8217;. I looked up the word &#8216;grouchy&#8217;, it said &#8216;crotchety&#8217;. No wonder you have such an eccentric culture. None of your words have their own meanings &#8211; you have to look up one word to understand another. It never ends.<br /> <em>Sheridan isn&#8217;t listening to her. He is focused on the galactic map. </em><br /> <p><b>Sheridan:</b> Something here doesn&#8217;t make sense.<br /> <b>Delenn:</b> That is what I thought when I came across &#8216;crotchety&#8217;. This cannot be a real word, I said.</p></blockquote></p> felicity http://faerye.net/post/the-following-words-are-funny#comment-772 what fun! 2003-11-26T08:45:02+00:00 2003-11-26T08:45:02+00:00 <p>chipotle<br /> masticate<br /> uvula<br /> bifurcated<br /> rotunda<br /> miasma<br /> smattering</p> sister sledge
