More for the Lexicon

Ednatify – An action combining nurturing, feeding and providing general TLC leading to a state of gratification.

Glenfiddled – State of arousal inhibited by maudlin drunkenness


Jo, I was thinking of the same thing, but I think it should be a verb: to Edna

"Ellery, the state you are in, you are going to burn down the house. I am coming over to Edna you, hear?"

After being completed Ednaed, Ellery was so overcome he got down on his knee and proposed to Ennis.

"Wes, those boys needed a lot of Ednaing, and I gave it to em in spades, with fried chicken and taters."

I am busy at this hour on chapter 102.
“Mr. Coyote always gets me good, boy,”  Ellery said, winking.  “Almost forgot what life was like before I got me my own personal coyote.”

you know that can't be true, David, most of Australia is about the latitude of Florida, and that means their tourist brochures advertise "No Shrinkage at the Beach."  And Hugh is clearly in Sydney here, as you can tell by the bright subtropical sun.

Um, you are looking at bright subtropical sun, Louise? Uh-huh, and I have a bridge in Brooklyn I could sell you, cheap.

LOL
