I realize that "embolden" is a perfectly acceptable word, but I have to admit, every time I see it used, I end up saying to myself "A noble spirit embiggens the smallest man!" And then I giggle a whole lot.

Another thing that will make me giggle apparently would be the usage of "most intimate organ" in a sex scene. Because then I go "hee, like his liver? His pancreas? Oooh, what about the gallbladder?"

In conclusion: I am apparently both really bitchy and really dorky.

Hmmm. I'd have to go with gallbladder. Although maybe spleen.

Dude! [livejournal.com profile] dsudis went with spleen, too! She had a whole reasoning worked out. I don't why it didn't occur to me in the first place -- I'm obviously missing some sort of ranking ability.

Hee! Spleen was my choice, too!

Hey, what can I say, I'm an immunologist.

*grins* Spleen seems to be popular opinion then. Plus? Advantage of being fun to say.

Hee. Spleen.

The words 'most intimate' always set me to pondering when in reference to a body part. I think perhaps inner ear. I don't think anyone should be messing with my inner ear unless we're really tight.

*nods* There's total trust issues there! They could totally screw up your balance and then laugh at you.

I always get an image of a minature pipe organ (http://www.orgel.com/vlm/albo-135.jpg) complete with music and guy playing it.

Yes of course intimate, because it would be in his pants, and y'know that's kinda intimate.
