Rabbit, meet Hole. (That could REALLY be misread.)

Ahem...

From the Webster's New Universal Unabridged Dictionary, copyright 1983:

FOR*FER'ED, adj. greatly alarmed; in excessive fear. [Obs.]

Example by me, Chris Walsh, age 34 1/6: "Forfered flew the following foxes: Lenny, Mac, Chuck, and Wozniak. Fearing the ferocious, fripperied frogmouth ("noun, one of various species of birds of the family Podargidae, found in the East Indies and related to the goatsuckers," also from the dictionary!), foxes forget frolicking and flip. PHEAR!!!!"

(This may be how my other Rabbit Hole Day entries go. This may not. To quote James T. Kirk, "There are always possibilities, Spock said..." To quote Indiana Jones, "I don't know, I'm making it up as I go along.")
