the laughing fit

A is for Ape
And X is for.... ximjotta. To copy. To mimic (most times in jest). A typical, slapstick way of causing merriment. Remember the times as a kid when you all walked behind the old man imitating his way of walking? Aping can be like caricaturising - it will thus bring out the ugliest, most prominent traits or ticks of the victim.

Never, ever call the discworld librarian (picture) an Ape or Monkey. He tends to get violent and could let loose a few punches. In case of trouble just give him a banana and he'll stay quiet for a while.

Right no more of this monkey business. Next up we will talk about the letter B like Buffu, Buffone, Buffon (ouch not very nice yesterday).

Ook!
