Episode #027, 08.04.2012: vexation

First of all, for all of you who were confused about last episode: April fools!
Yes, last time was April the first. Most words I present here seem so strange to me myself, so some day I had to make fun of that fact. But, from now on, all words will (maybe) be real ones. For example:
 vexation, noun. Vexing, being vexed; harassing by means of malicious or trivial litigation; state of irritation or distress.
In a sentence: “Some things may occasion much vexation to us, but to him all things are easy.”
To vex means to anger by slight or petty annoyance, irritate. The word comes from Latin vexo, which also meant to shake or jolt violently.

This is the script to an episode.
