I want to learn how to pronounce it so I can use it.
If that ever made it into fanfic usage--oh, can you imagine the abuse?
Of course, I never want to believe any of those lists, but some of the words are popularly untranslatable.
Buffy: I was regrouping. Spike: You were about to be regrouped into separate piles.
'Potential'

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
“the wordless, yet meaningful look shared by two people who both desire to initiate something but are both reluctant to start”
eta: Wrong quote!
I wonder if this is primarily used for sexual situations.
Sorta' how like 'double-entendre' doesn't necessarily refer to something sexual, but that seems how it's always used.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

It doesn't have to be sexual! They just want to initiate SOMETHING...like building a time machine together.
Also, that one, at least, is real. It's in the Guinness Book of World Records for "most succinct word." The definition there has a different nuance to it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Good news for the day! I finally got my Wonder Woman costume, and it totally works under the suit. Now I can't decide if I should do bun+no tiara, or hair down+tiara.
Also, and I'm just saying, but I'm pretty sure my future husband (TBD) will enjoy the costume on its own.

There needs to be a word that means, "A priest and a rabbi walk into a bar." Then a lot of jokes would take less time to tell.

HALLOO, innocent. It covers 75% of Dean/Castiel right there. Parker and Hardison do it all the time. Of course that's what it's for.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Yeah, that would make it more obvious. And fun!

God, I can talk some bullshit sometimes. I like to think it greases the business wheels, but who knows? I may just look like a raging idiot.
