Yahoo

Picture
  • A person who is very rude, loud, or stupid; (in Swift's Gulliver's Travels) one of a race of brutes, having the form and all the vices of humans, who are subject to the Hourhnhnms.
[First known use 1726 in Gulliver’s Travels]

The red vase crashed into the wall over Charlie’s head. A shower of water rained down on him. He cowered, hands over his head.

“What the hell, Vanessa?”

Vanessa looked around for more ammo. “You want to know what the hell, you yahoo?” She located a photo of them and threw it. “I know your secret. Once a month you go missing. You’re cheating on me.”

“No, I’d nev–”

“Don’t lie!”

But he couldn’t tell the truth. It’d send her running. But if he didn’t, then he’d lose her for good. He gulped down a breath. “I’m a werewolf.”

She'll want proof.
I wonder if the owners of search engine Yahoo know its true meaning?

I died laughing at that last line! I just had a funny thought that he gets irritable once a month. Heh heh heh!

I like the more modern take on this word: You Always Have Other Options. Yahoos don't always know that.

It have been great fun. Thanks for being a sterling Muffin Commando.

Yay, you chose "Yahoo" too--only a very different take on the word. Good job--nice twist at the end! :)

If she doesn't believe or he can't prove it, that might be the last straw. Poor guy.

My mother used to call people yahoos. I need to find a way to use that word when I'm talking to my children.

I wonder how she reacted. I'm not sure werewolf is preferable to affair.

I'm excited to read part two.

I wonder if werewolf would be preferable to cheating, or vice-versa?

At least it's all out on the table now, though she might not believe him. Can't wait for Part 2!

Now there is a secret that is either going to get him out of the dog house or in real trouble! I hope it's the first.
