Dieply [dee-ep-lee] (IPA: /di.'ep.li/)

adjective
1. in an emotionally excited and confused state induced by exposure to Diep or images of Diep; characterized by an uncomfortably dense column of butterflies located between the solar plexus and the esophagus, an elevated pulse-rate, light-headedness, intense distraction, aimless excitement, and strong feelings of uncertainty; this response is especially noticeable in Danya. "I went over to Heather's last week, and I took her to the linguistics page to show her pictures of Diep, which I had never looked at before, and afterwards I felt all... Dieply."

noun
1. the intense and unclear emotional state (described above) induced in Danya by Diep or images of Diep. "I've been writing this entry with all this Dieply building up; I gotta go outside or something."

adverb
1. in a distracted and awkward manner indicative of the emotional state (described above) induced in Danya by Diep or images of Diep. "I'm supposed to have coffee with her next week, and I want to at least pretend to be sort of relaxed; I want to avoid acting too Dieply... but I'm not sure how to balance properly-- I think I might have seemed a little standoffish during this semester, trying to avoid sounding Dieply."

Diep [dee-ep] (IPA: /di.'ep/)

noun
1. a graduate student in linguistics at Danya's university. "I really like linguistics, and if I wasn't so absolutely fired up to teach English, I would be pursuing linguistics... so partly I'm interested in knowing Diep simply because of that shared interest."
2. a leading member of the linguistics student association on campus. "I donated cookies to the linguistics association for a bake sale last fall, and that's how I first met Diep: she was the contact person organizing the bake sale and accepted my donation... which she later confirmed were delicious. I don't know if she remembers that."
3. an intelligent, ambitious woman that Danya's finds intensely attractive but also intimidating. "When I see Diep, I get this very strong feeling, and I'm not sure what it is... but I think I like her."
4. an auditing member of Danya's History of English class during this last semester. "Diep joined my group several times during the semester for the little in-class exercises, but, because she was auditing, she wasn't in class everyday, so I never really got a good chance to get used to her."
