don't the real cats already have that covered?

Zaniax

Sure, just purr.
Did you know that 'purr' is a new word for me ?

hstn

how does it translate--can we learn a word, too?

Zaniax

In my language purr is called 'spin' -
can you guess what that actually means ? :)

hstn

Did you know that "spin" can mean the attempts of people, usually politicians, to shape and manipulate the interpretations of events? Why do I think your alternative definition might well be a much better one?

Zaniax

I've heard about political spin doctors and atomic quantum spins.
But I'm referring to the sound made by the process of turning wool into a string.
Why can't I recall that word by now ?

'nite - really !

hstn

is it a whirring sound?

Zaniax

Oh, I forgot to tell that this manuel process usually took place out in the country many, many years ago.
The sound resembled a purring cat.
Maybe thats why (even in my language) it's called 'spin' ?

:)
