It's cold and grey and rainy and I would kill for a nap. (Yes, I work from home, but I still gotta do the "work" part, which is so unfair.)
Angel: How're you feeling? Faith: Like I did mushrooms and got eaten by a bear.

Steph, other editors, and perhaps academics--
What do you do when the source of your quote/definition/citation doesn't exactly make sense.
I am making flashcards for a course, and the content expert has provided me with definitions. However, when I read them, a few don't make grammatical or logical sense or they do not convey the actual definition of the word if you do not already have prior knowledge of what the word means or read the article to understand the context.
The instructor doesn't want to re-word because it won't be the same as the citation. Like, she understands that the definitions are confusing, but she is afraid of plagiarism.
I feel like you can re-word things as long as you don't quote them- also, this is for a set of flashcards!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Eeep, our licensing guy says his inside sources are saying that not only did our pitch go well, but that they want to Fast Track it. We'll officially know by the end of the week.

Our wings are not tired.
Not a editor or academic, but is there a 'based on' type citation where you can reword.
Awesome, David!

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Yay, David!
