Okay, I got one heck of a good post today.

Just one from the list:
Brabant: In 1984, author Douglas Adams and TV comedy producer John Lloyd paired up to publish a book called The Deeper Meaning of Liff: A Dictionary of Things There Aren't Any Words for Yet--But There Ought to Be. Smith apparently agreed with these two on at least this: that there should be a word for the fun of pushing someone's buttons, to see how much you can tease them until they snap. Adams and Lloyd defined the word as the feeling you get when you are "very much inclined to see how far you can push someone." (To my mind, an alternate definition might be "having a younger brother or younger sister.")
