Well it certainly made me squirmish

"Are we at war? I haven't heard the president say that we are at war. And that's why I too am not knowing do we use the term intervention? Do we use war? Do we use squirmish? What is it?"

    Given it's Sarah maybe she meant Squirmish-cell carcinoma. Then again she might be worried about Sasquatch, but probably not on account of her having a rooly big rifle you'all

    Squeamish? Squirrelly? Square root of minus one?

    Squirmish - an uncomfortably inconclusive battle with ridey-uppy underwear.

    As per Jonathon Miller, 'it didn't make me squirm, just squirmish'

    It could be worse. She could have lived in the same country as Tony Abbott, they could have met and married and spawned.

    Now that makes me squirmish.

    Pfft. The doorbitch is just uppity (ridey-uppity?) with me because I haven't been around much lately.

    Oh dear, the Abbott/Palin thingy is bringing me out in hives. Imagine the spawn of Sarah Barracuda and Attack Dog Abbott. They'd have to be kept in mesh cages and fed the meat of sharks and lions.

    WV is screw. It rly is.

    'Square root of minus one?'

    A complex number - interesting! But would an irrational number - say square root of two - have been more apt?

    Or do you think that Palin has had a savant's moment of clouded insight?

    I too am not knowing my qs from my ks but I do know Palin is a case - a suitable case for treatment.
