"The custom of royalty in referring to oneself is to naturally employ the royal 'we'.  We are very happy, we are very sad, we are bored and suffer from ennui.  For a royal prince there's no such word as 'me', It's always 'we'.  So rightfully I should be two or three, don't you agree?"

You know what's cool about this thread? You can legitimately post a one-word post. It's fair game.

Here's one: obfuscate. Very cool.

I think it's more like VIH-ger, with the 'ger' being like 'grrr'.…

Yeah, me, too. The way benvolio is saying he pronounces it almost sounds like the same word said with a heavy accent. :-/

I think what benvolio is talking about is a cross between a viper and a tiger...a kind of large, venomous feline, or veline if you will.

By the way: Viper.

I think that's how RJ always described the voice of disguise Lanfear used to use…Kaille or something…the overweight woman who always wore white (in the Waste).
