Is it a kind of dance ferrets do, or is it a verbal heh.... when i first saw the term used, i thought it was a euphemism for a bowel movement. i still don't use the term, because i think it *sounds* like i'm talking about my ferrets' pooping skills (which i do, but that's another topic). the boy and i came up with the word "gronk" to decribe the ferret noise when jack was first with us. i still think "Gronking" is a good term for ferret talk... -k- [Moderator's note: My favorite word to describe "dook" was "chortle", but it seems to have fallen out of favor over the years. (Perhaps because the use of "four-letter" American slang has become so popular? Damn.) BIG] [Posted in FML issue 3503]
