psychoticness)

It is a must for this year's dictionary.

BTW, you write a "D", like this, "D". Hope it fits on the hat.

Should I go sit in the corner once I've made the hat, Sir?
You certainly know how to make a fuss, but would you even know how to begin making a hat and writing a "D"?

Interesting.
