Quandary Resolution 2457
sitzfleisch, Stockholm syndrome, cuspidor, cosset
The tedium and the agony at long last over, the patient (pace the Stockholm syndrome) attempted only a fraught, strained grimace of non-appreciation at his masked captor before, with numb mouth, aching jaw, and several fillings (to be cosseted by two whole hours of indignant starvation!), he arose unsteadily from wincing Sitzfleisch to drool and slobber on command a lopsided bespawl of blood, scale, amalgam grit, and pink water into (and outwith) a gleaming cuspidor.
