DANCE, v.i. To leap about to the sound of tittering music, preferably with arms about your neighbor's wife or daughter.

HOMICIDE, n. The slaying of one human being by another. There are four kinds of homocide: felonious, excusable, justifiable, and praiseworthy, but it makes no great difference to the person slain whether he fell by one kind or another --the classification is for advantage of the lawyers.

There are 4 kinds of homicide; felonious, excusable, justifiable, and praiseworthy.

DIVINATION, n. The art of nosing out the occult. Divination is of as many kinds as there are fruit-bearing varieties of the flowering dunce and the early fool.
