Hi folks, I laughed out loud, (actually, I may have chortled out loud,) when I read BIG's note at the end of one post about dooking. Until I started reading the FML, I had never heard the term "dook" before. I called it chortling. It seemed to me that was exactly the noise the word had been invented to describe. I think Lewis Carroll must have had ferrets. Of course, by the book, the word is a portmanteau. (Two words put together, for two meanings in one word, like "limon" which is lemon and lime.) It is "chuckle" and "snort". But I think there is some onomatopoeia going on as well. I think if a human said the word "chortle" repeatedly and quickly enough, it would approximate the sounds those fuzzies make. Anyway, just had to laugh. Melissa Barnes [Posted in FML issue 3504]
