Science fiction, fantasy, mystery and what-not
Watching a television show, I saw that they got ready for work and school, came into the kitchen, got something to eat and drink, and then, after a few bites and gulps, realized they’re late, and ran out the door.
I thought, they didn’t brush their teeth. Then I realized, they must have brushed their teeth before coming into the kitchen.
I always ate breakfast first, and then brushed my teeth and got ready for work or school and left. I guess I’ve been doing it backwards all these years.
Floofsory (catfinition) – a feline who is superficially catlike; a cat who acts like a human or another animal.
In use: “A small gray tabby, she would never be accused of being floofsory. She was a cat, with emphasis, and she ruled like a queen.”

You ever buy a package of food, and read their claim on the package that it contains two point five servings in it? So you look at it, and think, “No way. That barely has enough in it for me.” You ever do that?
Yeah, what kind of con are they trying to pull on us?
“It says it should be stored in a cold, dry place. I know of one, but I don’t think my wife would appreciate being referred to as a place.”
Oh, snap (to employ an outdated phrase).
“How do you a bathroom open house?”
Silence answered, followed by gales of charming laughter.
So sweet.

In use: “The Maine coon cat was asleep against him on top of the duvet, incatcerating him against his will.”
