Kleptogargantuanly livid

Peacocks. Is that an unfortunate name for a creature, or will it do just fine.

What about the planet Uranus?

Not all things, places or nouns are as unfortunate. Take a chair for instance. Okay, now that you've taken it, put it back down again. How is it that when some people say 'take a chair' they are really telling you to sit down. Shouldn't they simply say 'sit down'?

I'd have other questions, but I don't. Well, at least, not at this time.

Better than peahen.

Uranus is fine in other languages, only in English do we titter and nudge.

Take possession of a chair, and use it as you will. Halve a chair.

If that's all you got, that's all you got.

z: if I were to halve a chair, would that render it useless?
