Hmm...<br /><br />1) Jesse scratched his itchy glabella.<br />2) P'li's explosion-bending powers could be temporarily dampened by a strike to her glabella.<br />3) Please excuse me, sir, but are you aware of the rather large spider spinning a web over your glabella?<br /><br />Would you believe that the word processor on this browser doesn't accept "glabella" as a word? Yeesh. Also, to anyone who recognized the LoK reference of sentence #2...

Bear in mind that it was merely the crescendo which takes you to the triumphant cry of "Tequila," not the whole song.<br /><br />Since you deemed my third entry as not being a sentence, perhaps you'll like this better:<br /><br />While shopping at Glabella's, I purchased a pair or camouflage tweezers, with which I will tame my hirsute glabella.

Based on the time of day, certain people I forwarded this link to, and certain key terms, I know with 99% confidence who you are. <br /><br />Secondly, "glabellus" is the classical Latin word and is not used in modern English. The word you are looking for is "glabrous," which is drawn from the classical Latin "glaber." <br /><br />Thirdly, oddly enough, when I saw the word "glabrous" in the dictionary, the first two words that popped into my head were "Uncle" and "Skeeter." I'm sure he'd be proud. <br /><br />Fourthly, is that third entry supposed to be "Tequila"? Because if it is, it's poorly rendered. If it's not supposed to be "Tequila," I admit I'm flummoxed. (Also I don't think that counts as a sentence. Just sayin'.)A.L.S.
