Remember, you're the only guy here who knows that word.

"I have never before heard anyone actually say that word."

Or was it I found that particular word for myself?

"We have not heard that word in a long time."

The man who called had a funny way of saying that word.

There was that word again, the one he thought about all the time, but did his best not to mention.

I'm sure I've heard that word somewhere before, and not very long ago either.

Why was that word and the men's speech so familiar to him?

"Are you telling me that word of last year's decision hasn't reached here yet?"

Almost no one was ordinary, as we understand that word.
