1. stormbringer
Also yesterday at Petit Creme.
Big: See that? That’s Mark’s bike, Stormbringer. It rains every time he rides it.
Mark: Not true. I’ve ridden it twice when it hasn’t rained.
Big: You’ve owned it for four months.
2. arch-ninja
Doyle’s on Watson’s Bay. We sit in the shade of palm trees, wolfing fish and chips and beer, watching yachts bob on the harbour.
R: I think I want her to be an arch-nemesis when she grows up. We’ll give her ninja training, that sorta thing.
Kay: Whose arch-nemesis will she be? Do you have a worthy foe in mind?
R: Nah, I thought she could freelance. God knows I could use a replacement for my arch-nemesis. I figure there’s a lot of people out there in the same situation.
Kelso: Can’t she just be an ordinary nemesis?
Big: She has to start as an ordinary nemesis, and work her way up to arch.
3. fang-snatcher
At home in Bellevue Hill. I am eating a mango. My father-in-law has been to the dentist.
My mother-in-law: So how was the fang-snatcher?
I snerk, and inhale mango juice.
