I cried when Reese Witherspoon got naked in the film Twilight, but those were tears of joy.

And why am I fixated on Reese Witherspoon today?

Two things:

1. I'm offended that you've removed the eye candy from your FReeper homepage.

2. You've violated the rule of mentioning a hottie without posting the requisite visual evidence.

inferno

n 1: any place of pain and turmoil; "the hell of battle"; "the inferno of the engine room"; "when you're alone Christmas is the pits"; [syn: hell, hell on earth, hellhole, snake pit, the pits] 2: a very intense and uncontrolled fire [syn: conflagration] 3: (Christianity) the abode of Satan and the forces of evil; where sinners suffer eternal punishment; "Hurl'd headlong...To bottomless perdition, there to dwell"- John Milton; "a demon from the depths of the pit" [syn: Hell, perdition, Inferno, infernal region, nether region, the pit] [ant: Heaven]

IMO that my first Christmas alone was tumultuous pain.

I Googled it and got 744 hits of various dictionary
references.

The obvious thing to do is boycott all dictionaries.

This statement is obviously a literary quote although
it would probably take a LexisNexis search to find it.

Besides, if by "alone" they mean single/unmarried/unattached, then yes Christmas most certainly is the pits!Just like most of mine have been. Including this one :,(

Obviously, the young women are not paying attention. I looked at your picture and can't see any reason for you to be alone.

So you think that they're shoving Christ into the definition of hell? Don't you think that's just a tad bit paranoid?

I left MW for "Dictionary" after reading their revised definition of "marriage". Check the second definition.

(2) : the state of being united to a person of the same sex in a relationship like that of a traditional marriage

Well, I guess it's back to spell check and only using words I'm already familiar with for me. Danged political activist dictionaries.

This is just silly. What is a word for people who are perpetually offended over nothing?
