    Hot Cocoa: The drink of royalty, best served with snow on the ground, a fireplace going, and marshmallows in the cup!

    Offensive:
    Some of us laugh
    Some of us cry
    Some of us smoke
    Some of us lie
    But it's all just the way
    that we cope with our lives...

    Offensive: Offensive is to defensive as proactive is to reactive as kicking butt is to having butt kicked. For example:

    There once was a monster named Moe
    Who was happy as most monsters go.
    On the offense he’s mean.
    On the defense he’s seen--
    Well, he’s not, since he won’t even show.

    Triceratops: That famous horned dinosaur who may or may not have had a lot of similar species. Perhaps all of them didn't have the three horns, some had more, and some had none. Were the ones without horns but with the distinctive backplate on the head maybe female? Female deer, for example, have no antlers...

    Read: a verb that rhymes with deed or dead, depending on when the deed was read. But as a present active participle, it rhymes with wedding and refers to a town in Massachusetts.

    Kleptomaniac: Someone who can’t keep his hands out of other people’s cookie jars not because he doesn’t have a cookie jar of his own that is filled (with other people’s stuff), but because he feels he has a duty to tidy things up and stuff that is not in his cookie jar is simply not in its proper place.

    In other words (as the old joke goes) someone who helps himself because he can't help himself.

    Enchantment: an evolutionary instinct assuring the human male that a given cookie jar would be a delightful place to intrude a hand.

    If one does get caught, that is about as good of an excuse as one can find.
