Cantankerous About Being Cantankerous
(We are getting results back on our coursework. I have scored higher than my friend.)
Friend: “You cantankerous wart! How dare you get better than me!”
Me: “You don’t even know what that means.”
Friend: “Yes, I do!”
Me: “Nope, you just learned that word this second.”
Friend: “Prove it.”
(I point at the title of my coursework, which includes “cantankerous.”)
Friend: “Shut up!”
(He tried to ignore my laughing and be angry, but he couldn’t keep it up for the whole lesson.)
