This is a good one, O wfftd-Master!...in that, the options are all negotiable. I like 'butterflies in the stomach', but "myth" leads me more to "a ventriloquist" in that the projected voice is a myth. So that's my Final Answer...D.

Awww, no fair - this is like hearing half of a phone conversation that sounds like it may be fun.

Awww...I just wanted to see if you'd pick-up on that typo. And you did, in your usual grandiloquent and masterly style!

Hey, Shona...all you have to do is subscribe to tsuwm's site to get in on the other half of the fun! It's free!

Yeah nunc, but I know myself - I wouldn't be able to resist pursuing definitions, exploring histories, etc, and then it would be another hour I haven't got out of my day .

Having said which, here I am doing the same thing on AWADtalk anyway...

OK, I give in.

My first guess was (a) tummy rumble, but now I think (d) ventriloquist is much more likely. Off to LIU..
