better than other peoples'. you perfectly gave a word FOR the definition. - ohwtepph, 2007-04-25: 19:55:00

It's a good word, but I'm not sure it better fits the description than many others as Ohwtepph mentions. I think it better describes the emotional reaction to the discovery itself. But I think paying too close attention to the "rules" of the game is unpardonable in cases such as this. Afterall, it just limits the fun we have. - petaj, 2007-04-25: 23:18:00

When she ran out, she went to the police and complained about the galleryeek. Giles isn't her friend anymore, since she got him jailed for stalking. Giles is too tired to think about Heather. His new roomie, Big Tiny, has now taken to plastering their cell with pictures of Giles and gives him long hungry glances. Giles sits up wide awake each night with his back to the wall. If you hang pictures in a prison, does that gallery becomes a cellery?
