  • Word created by Janet Chang @LoveMeDeux to describe a nap that you will understand only when you awaken from one.

  • Apparently a deathnap virgin, the concept of a deathnap was too much for Gerry Riskin, @riskin, to get his brain around.

    I sought assistance in explaining the deathnap concept from Brian Simpson, @Bsimi, a charming and flirtatious rogue. Brian, who claims that instead he is a "fragile and shy boy from Maine" told Gerry that a deathnap is, quite simply, a "powernap on steroids."

    While Brian's definition is quite cliche ridden, it is useful, perhaps, in being, an explanation that Gerry can understand.

    I love deathnaps and friends who are so kind to amuse me!
