I've always loved 'akimbo' and 'clutter'.Elspeth Futcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10330102545384369360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32918125.post-60564770884634068582010-10-12T09:58:28.294-05:002010-10-12T09:58:28.294-05:00I cut and pasted Onomatopoeia as well. :) Congrats...I cut and pasted Onomatopoeia as well. :) Congrats on the award!Laura Enohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09982794146667832204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32918125.post-37688413775225990002010-10-12T09:57:14.311-05:002010-10-12T09:57:14.311-05:00Mary, it would make a good curse word.
