Shall we move on to "B" - BELLADONNA, n. In Italian a beautiful lady; in English a deadly poison. A striking example of the essential identity of the two tongues.
Eeeeeeeek ! Wait, you're using some great material !
You brat ! I luv ya, but that's not fair.
Good choice of entry though...
When I'm done with Ambrose Bierce I'm gonna hafta find someone REALLY obscure/hard to find to quote from so I can sidestep your tricksy mind. Damn you and your abundant brain matter ! Daaaaaaaaamn !

Just one more, please - APOLOGIZE, v.i. To lay the foundation for a future offence.
Please don't apologize ! I overreacted ! Leave any quotes you want here, I was just fooling with you. I appreciate your input !
I apologize to you Janey.
