Tea Monsters.

[excessivepurple]

You know when you make a really hot, steaming cup of tea and take it upstairs into a cold room, and put it under a lamp on your desk, and then fully cover it over with your hand, and then move your thumb up and down to make it look like there's an evil hand monster with steam coming out of its mouth

If I drank tea, I'd try that

How about 'gniffed'?

Or would you prefer a word someone other than me would be comfortable pronouncing on a day to day basis?

(Though I can do worse than that. You know I can. You know it so knowingly.)

[excessivepurple]

...'Gniffed' is enough for me (although I read it 'niff'd' or 'niff-ed', so it's not too much with the unpronounceability). But right now I'm still going with 'smulk'. xD

[ilantia]

smulk is le hexellent

[frabjously]

unconspicuous? A opposed to inconspicuous.

*As

[excessivepurple]

...but 'un-' and 'in-' both negate the 'conspicuous', thus defeating the purpose. D:

[frabjously]

uninconspicuous?

[sang_noir]

"To smulk."

[ilantia]

A remarkably smug kind of skulking. Which is sort of what the briefcase game inspires in one. Ahaha.

[excessivepurple]

Right now this one has my vote.

[estrangler]

Nice.

I'm not sure about a verb, but I have an adjective: "subspicious"

subspicious
adj. intentionally suspicious-looking

n. subspiciousness, adv. subspiciously

[excessivepurple]

'Subspicious' does have a nice ring to it... although maybe it ought to be 'superspicious'. Going above and beyond the call of spicious, and all that.

[estrangler]

i was thinking "sub" because it's underhandedly suspect.

[excessivepurple]

Also true. Spiciousing about underneath the radar.

Whatever comes of this, I think I'm going to end up gratuitously using the word 'spicious.'
