The child in me loves the word afraider ... it's a crackerjack creation! Excellent! - silveryaspen, 2008-03-20: 15:29:00

Good one, stache...just cause you're paranoid does not mean that someone isn't following you... - Nosila, 2008-03-20: 22:34:00

Oh, this is an excellent word. Perfect! - Tigger, 2008-03-20: 22:53:00

Fantastic word. Most X-dar words (including mine) seem to imply that the detection is actually _effective_. I like that this one goes the other way. - ErWenn, 2008-03-21: 01:55:00

Good word! - OZZIEBOB, 2008-03-22: 03:41:00

A SWAT van needed to chase a litter? Why only cited for drinking? Your sentence left me hanging! Please finish me off? Maybe I'm just copophobic ... scared too senseless ... to figure it out! Very meaning full word! - silveryaspen, 2008-03-20: 16:56:00
