Call the OED People, the Boy Needs a Vocab Lesson
Jonah walked by Reha and fwapped her as he passed. Not that hard, but it was completely un-called for.
This is unacceptable on so many levels that I don’t even have time, energy or disk space to go into it right now. He wasn’t being mean or snotty, really, but he wasn’t keeping his hands to himself, which is Rule #74 at the Deal Family Compound. “NO UN-AUTHORIZED TOUCHING!”
“Jonah, you simply MUST keep your hands to yourself.”
“Mom… I’m [un-intelligible]” (but it sounded like ‘boisterous’ to Reha.)
“No, Jonah, you aren’t being boisterous. Boisterous means you are loud. You are just being kind of rude and you have to stop hitting people. It isn’t nice at all.”
“I didn’t say ‘boisterous.’ I don’t even know what a boisterous is. I don’t use words that I don’t know what they mean.”
What about fwapping? Does he know what *that* means?
Or to paraphrase Chicago (the band, not the musical): “Does anybody really know what fwapping is?”

Really, I'm glad you made it down here. Almost no one ever comes down here. I'm like in a freaking dungeon down here. I get lonely. But not you. YOU made it all the way to the end of the page. For this I think I've a little crush on you. I don't know, is "love" to strong a word to use in this situation? Well, if it's not "love," then it's very strong "like." I'm totally in like with you for coming down here. You are awesome. Please love me back! I know, I know, I shouldn't be all needy, it's not attractive at all, but you don't know how it is to be stuck down here. Who scrolls all the way to the end of a page anymore these days? Anyway, thanks for shedding some light down here in the depths. I appreciate it. Shoot me an email and I'll send you a dollar, OK?
