Now, for all the lazy folk, such as myself, you need to include definitions.
Oh snap, you want me to go over and get the dictionary.?
hmm, dictionary... well, if you're interested in the definitions, that's great, but typically it's the sound that I've fallen for and not always the meaning that accompanies the word. Not that I'm oblivious to the corresponding definition. I'll consider adding definitions next time, but I could be like my mom and just say: go look it up! (I used to hate that exhortation, but now I enjoy thumbing through the dictionary and other reference-type tomes.)
