A survey on the definition of "GIGGLE"
First of all, my friends, how do you define the word "GIGGLE"?
Today, during GP lesson, after the timed assignment, Aaron and I were sitting down and discussing why a guy would feel extremely uncomfortable with sitting with a bunch of giggling girls...so I asked, "OK, what do you define as giggling?" Suddenly, out of the blue, Weilin answered, "HEE HEE HEE." Both of us were momentarily stunned. Then Aaron said, " So laughing would be 'HA HA HA' la, if you put it that way..." And both of us burst out laughing, cos we never imagined anyone would define giggle as 'HEE HEE HEE'. However, Weilin insisted that she was right...so we came out with a brilliant solution.
We went around and asked the class, "How do you define the word 'giggle'?" And strangely enough, these were some of the interesting answers:
Jasmin & PR: laughter with a feminine touch
Edwin: suppressed laughter
Weilin: HEE HEE HEE
Kxiang: laughing hysterically
Yihoong: bimbotic squeals
And now i shall define the word giggle: laugh lightly in a nervous or silly way (Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary definition)
Hmmm...so ya...i wondered how close we got to the real definition (i think yi hoong got it :D) words to that effect...haha...
Lastly,
How far do you define giggle as "HEE HEE HEE"? Justify your answer and try to convince weilin otherwise. Can put your answer on the class tag board.
Flo-laughing till her stomach aches :D
