for
gen_drabble thingy #23: Jezebel
*
“'Jezebel'. Really?”
“You’re just sore because I managed to hit a triple word score, which means you’re going to lose this one.”
“No, I’m annoyed because you keep trying to cheat, despite what happened last time.”
“That was totally not my fault, and you know it. And what do you mean, ‘trying to cheat’? Jezebel’s a real word.”
“It’s a name.”
“That’s a kind of word.”
“But not one that’s allowed.”
“It’s a . . . noun! Y’know: ‘You jezebel you’. Someone called me that once and I broke his nose for him.”
“Nice try, but no cigar.”
“I hate this game. ...‘Bun’?”
