If that's a serious question, she's referring to the meter.
"I've got a theory, it could be dinosaur" does not have the same meter as "I've got a theory, it could be bunnies," due to "dinosaur" being a three-syllable word. And as much as I love the idea, I don't sanction the use of "dino," cause half the fun of the dinosaur spec is getting to say the word "dinosaur." Mmm, dinosaur. Dinosaur dinosaur!

I was thinking of the demons line myself, but either way, the syllables in demons/bunnies get twice the number of beats as the other words in the line. I don't see the difficulty in shortening the first syllable and adding another syllable.
For all those bogarting the Sayid:
Lost: Sayid Is My Preciousssss
Lost 1: OMG! WTF?
Lost 1: He Shot a What?

LOVE the old thread titles. Takes me back a few years.
Buffy 73: The Show Ended Six Years Ago, But The Natter Never Stops
Frighteningly accurate. *g*
Lost 1: OMG! WTF?
Gets my vote. I'm only marginally more fond of dinosaurs than monkeys. (And we all know how I feel about monkeys. Unless they're Golden Tamarinds, then, love.)
Lost 1: No phones, no lights, no polar bears–wait.
Lost 1: No phones, no lights, no dinosaurs–maybe.
