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?)

*grins* Canoodle is actually a word that I know. Its used down here in the south. =)

"Kids! You stop Canoodling around~!!!!"

Canoodle is the most ridiculous word ever. I think it's strange that word perfect would equate it with caress... I mean yeah, canoodle means feeling someone up, but that's not EXACTLY caressing!

Hilarious to think about Cloud and Tifa canoodling though. OH MAN. Awkward, rushed, desperate makeout/sex in a closet or something like that?? Could be hot... maybe birthday fic...?

Canoodling is an excellent word! Although honestly can't see either anybody in RK or FFVII using it....

Ok, possibly Katsu. In order to embarass Sano.

Hmm... or certain Kenshins, is they were teasing. Hmm.
