#17  Darn it, it's too late for a nap -- I'll have to go to bed early. Encyclopedias, not dictionaries.

Mr. Webster, you'll be quite safe if you take three steps back. Oggles are for ogling at a distance, not as protection from projecting protuberances. Besides, you're the Congressman who argued the case against the Devil, not the dictionary man, if I recall my folk tales correctly. ;-)

#14  Mr. Wife was the first man I ever met who read dictionaries. So of course I never thought of it as nerdy, rather as amateur philology. ;-) Dictionaries are fun, too.

#13  I confess. I've been known to read dictionaries. Sometimes after I look up a word I go on to read about other words too. I can't help it. I'm a nerd.

#11  If youÂ’re being leered at lustfully youÂ’re being ogled (first vowel sounds like “OH”)—not “oggled,” even if youÂ’re being ogled through goggles. The word is probably related to the German word äugeln, meaning “to eye,” from Auge (“eye”).

#10  Or at least oggles.
