Bringing prompts to chime in the new year.
This month: Douz!
1. Still no need to panic.
2. damnable sleeping sickness
3. mysterious stimulant from South America
4. Always at hand with the mot juste
5. this isn't for your mother's ears
6. Then they should have said so. I'm not a mind reader.
7. no special procedures
8. this is the pointy end
9. I have control.
10. like you were trying to wipe out the dinosaurs.
11. getting flustered trying to parallel-park
12. You do see how "better" trumps "senior", don't you?
13. If that landing had been any safer it would've killed us.
14. Do they have hyenas in the Sahara?
15. My cover is blown.
16. you're not the only ones who used to have an empire
17. if I may attempt an idiom
18. I can find no words that describe a fire truck better than "fire truck"
19. How do you mean, "generous"? What's "generous"?
20. It rings a faint bell.
21. You put that damn thing away, before I make you eat it!
22. I must hold you responsible for their debts
23. the delay that's going on currently is still currently ongoing
24. What an unintended consequence.
25. I'm sure he's locked it away somewhere.
26. Okay, remember—bend from the knees and not from the back.
27. love to stay but we've just remembered a pressing engagement.
28. It's... it's against the law.
29. they probably drive pretty much wherever the hell they like.
30. You know I get carsick in the passenger seat.
31. The awful thing is, I sort of know what you mean.
Notes:
mot juste - right word
As usual, underlined words can be exchanged with whatever fits your story best.
