syntactic felicity
You don't want to make C mad. Here is a brief sampling of the hail of impromptu insults she flung at her brother in the space of about ten seconds after he beat her rather unkindly at Waterworks (there were more, but we can't remember them):
You are a pecan with two arms and two legs that can talk!
You are a pecan chopped up in a pecan pie!
You drowning little fishie!
You flabbergasting baboon!
and the pièce de résistance:
You are a boiled baloney and baboon sandwich!
It's hard to reprimand her when I'm laughing like that.
Comments
for a long time, Nate's favorite for his brother was to call him a "pineback" He made it up. Once when they were quite younger, Toney came up to me crying. "Nate called me a Pineback" I know he has come up with others, but I can't think of them right now

*Guffaw!* So much more creative than swearing.
