Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I freeze my pajamas, ita.

Vancouver's not that cold in the winter. It is, however, grey, ugly, and damp. Which isn't how I think of your sleepwear.

Having failed to be blind during the three months I lived with her, I had occasion to see her sleepwear.

Oh, MAN. I can't remember the last time a word made me so happy. In fact, I'm mentally editing video of yesterday, and tagging a number of people terribly, terribly Backpfeifengesicht.

Those wackily perceptive Germans.

In Afrikaans we sometimes call a stapler, a 'pampiervampier'. Literally, 'paper-vampire' If you look at your stapler and use it, the meaning becomes obvious.
