Dabbling in Dictionaries
Ianto glowered, flicking through the dictionary.
"Obstreperous," he announced triumphantly.
"Easy. Noisy, boisterous"
"Bugger."
Flip-Flip-Flip.
"Antediluvian."
"Old-fashioned," Jack folded his arms nonchalantly. "You're going to have to try harder than that."
"But…"
"You think Samuel Johnson wrote that thing on his own?"
Ianto sighed, snapping the dictionary shut.
"Well then, sir, I'm sorry I doubted you," he stood up dejectedly. "I offer you my sincerest contrafribularites."
Jack spluttered.
"What the…?"
"In fact, I'm anispeptic, frasmotic, even compunctuous to have caused you such pericombobulation."
"What…I don't…how…?!"
"Because, sir…" Ianto leaned down close, brushing Jack's ear.
"I always get the last word."
