ROTFL

[sekiharatae]

I feel my word choices are turning repetitive, so I asked Word Perfect to give me a synonym for "caress".

It came back with "canoodle".

Seriously, you silly program?  "canoodle"?

This now joins the (admittedly short) list of words I somehow have to work into a fic.  It's a very short list.  The only other word on it is "crapulent", which means to be completely trashed drunk.  (Oddly enough, I learned that word playing Quiddler.)

ETA:  Here we have a brilliant use of the word "canoodle" in a Cloud/Tifa fic.  You should go read it! http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4375969/14/  (It's not mine, but I'm pimping it out 'cause it's clever and great and, really, didn't I say go read it already?)

LOL. Yeah, I'm familiar with it, too. (Is Southern herself.)

I just was a bit surprised that was the first suggestion WP gave me.

Can't really imagine it being used with K&K or Cloud/Tifa though. (giggles insanely imagining Tae or Genzai or someone telling K&K to stop canoodling... or, heck, to start!)

Genzai: I know all about canoodling young man.
Kenshin: Oro!
Genzai: I'm just trying to figure out when you're going to start.
Kenshin: Oro!
Genzai: Do you need tips?
Kenshin: ORO!

ROTFL.

You can just see it. His eyes getting wider and wider...

Genzai would go home and just cackle.

And I have definitely used the word canoodling more than once. o_o
