Baadfellow: /baad fel lo/ Baaraack Obaamaa had shared Cissie & Oscar’s bed since he was a little lamb. Every night he jumped up onto the spread and cuddled in and became their baadfellow. The only problem was that now he was full grown and weighed a good 200 pounds, there was no room for him…he could no longer pull the wool over their eyes. Every night was an udder nightmare, as he kicked like Dan Merino in his sleep. “How can we tell him he’s not human and needs to go into the farmyard and find himself a wife?”, asked Cissie. “We just set him out and make him find his own way…it’s tough love!”, said Oscar. They enjoyed about 6 months of peace, until one cold night, their door was rammed open and in walked Baaraack Obaamaa, his Embraceable Ewe and their triplet lambs: Rambo, Ewelysses and
José Fleeciano. It was when they all piled onto Cissie & Oscars bed and settled in for a nice warm sleep that Cissie & Oscar realized one thing. You really cannot get to sleep by counting sheep! Etymology: Bedfelow (someone you share a bed with) & Baa (a sheep’s cry) Created by: Nosila.

Oh, Ewe…I am glad you herd of it. My sheep is a flock star!
Codepetent: /co dee PET ent/ You know how 1-year-olds move around a lot when they sleep and wind up in funny and cute positions? And how if you sleep with them, you sometimes end up with a foot or a butt in your face? Well, it isn’t so cute when they are 8 and still in your bed, but taking up a lot more room, and you get kicked or punched all the time. So you have to feel bad for Indy Cysive, whose 8-year-old happened to be a chimpanzee who still insisted on sleeping in Indy’s bed every night. Indy had even bought a special bed just for Harry the chimp, but every night when she tried to put Harry in it, he whimpered and wrapped his arms around her. Indy secretly missed those chimp baby years when he had needed her so much, and she was too much of a codepetent to say no to Harry. So the expensive pet bed remained unused. And almost every morning, Indy woke to find a fuzzy arm draped over her face. At least Harry was willing to keep his diapers on, since he did weigh 150 pounds by then.

Xenocturnalia: /-ze-noc-tur-na-li-a-/ Sleeping on the same bed with Clarisse Starling is one thing, but this was above and beyond the XENOCTURNALIA that Daizy the Sheep signed up for when it joined agent Starling to be a true and faithful sidekick. As Hannibal Lecter smiled and whispered his customary: “Good evening Clarisse,†the poor lamb went silent and quietly left the bedroom. Etymology: XENO – prefix that usually refers to an across-species process or act (e.g. XENOtransplantation; XENOgraft); NOCTURNAL – night-related, usually sleep related; -ALIA – a suffix reserved for a ritual of a sexually suggestive nature (e.g. SaturnALIA) Created by: XMbIPb.

Oops – sorry – I entered my comment in the wrong place. But for yours – I like how the “lamb went silent” – good movie reference!
