My word was inspired by my brother-in-law, Pete. We were standing in a long line of people at a gift shop. I was one person ahead of Pete, with that one person sandwiched between us being particularly wretched-smelling. It was hear-a-pin-drop quiet until Pete broke the silence by yelling out "Hey Leigh! You making chili up there?!". Yep, you can't choose your relatives. - purpleartichokes, 2007-07-26: 07:02:00
